Working Pipelife
Title:  Working Pipelife
Description:  I came upon the Watts based dodger that works north catching it at Kenwood St as it worked the Pipelife Jetstream plant in Siloam, the power having just backed down past the crossing as it shoved plastic pellets into the plant.

Pushing back, and a former customer
Title:  Pushing back, and a former customer
Description:  The dodger power pushes covered hoppers full of plastic pellets into the Pipelife plant, past the now cut off siding for Allens Canning, the one time packers of Popeye spinach, which was once canned here, along with a variety of other vegetables. The brand survives, though Allens is no longer a going concern. The warehouse here is now owned by Pro Pak, and truck served.
