Los Angeles - Athens - A small area near the 405 / 105 freeway intersections. The UP El Segundo branch line passes through this area as well as the start of the Torrance branchline. The lines see traffic daily with two locals (LOW10 and LOW20) as well as the UP's Robertson Rock train.

The Union Pacific's LOW20 "El Segundo Local" navigates through the section of the El Segundo Branch line where the Torrance Branch splits off and the tracks travel through a freeway tunnel. UP 1190 was a nice sight in the roll now dominated by NRE Genset switcher locomotives.
