Substation at Dominguez Junction: December 1960

By December of 1960, in this view looking to the north, the exterior of the portable substation (parked in front of the Dominguez Junction powerhouse) had seen better days, but at least it was “rebranded” with a green MTA logo sign.

Sitting on a short spur track with electrified overhead, the car wasn’t in danger of going anywhere as it was supported on jacks, the derail switch was open and grass had completely overgrown a portion of the track.
