UP5601 leads an intermodal from the Port of Long Beach out of "The Trench" on the Alameda Corridor

The Alameda Corridor is exceptionally amazing infrastructure, especially this section at Sante Fe St & E 25th St in Vernon, CA. Here, the tracks began to transition from 33 ft below ground back to street level. There are also a few tasty restaurants and lower-cost EV charging stations alongside ‘The Trench.’ Droned 10/17/2026.
