Two slide-views of Taylor Yards in 1954.


eBay

I wasn't sure this was really 1954 until I spotted that car parked by the second tower. (red arrow below)


detail

-also note the Purina owned grain elevator (my hometown in Illinois had a Purina elevator as well)-easy to spot with the checkerboard paint job.








Then I found this second slide with numerous parked cars. (I take it they're railroad worker's cars)


eBay

I believe the large 'square' building on the hilltop/middle distance is part of Forest Lawn Glendale.
