Westbound stacks glide through the Alhambra Trench, about to pass the one time location of the Southern Pacific station. Said station actually survived into Amtrak, but was closed when digging began to build this trench in 1977. Far less famous than its well-known cousin to the west, the Alameda Corridor Trench, the Alhambra Trench separates the former eSPee Sunset Route from the streets of this Los Angeles suburb. While it doesn't have the traffic of the Alameda, the Alhambra does not have the defacto roof blocking the view either.
