When I was a kid growing up in the 60s, the PE line in question crossed into Seal Beach near the mouth of the San Gabriel River, then down Electric Avenue, curving around the perimeter of the weapons station and running parallel to Pacific Coast Highway into Sunset Beach and then Huntington Beach. I think SP ran a local freight down the line once a week or thereabouts into the mid-60s until the line was abandoned in 1966 or 1967.

The weapons station fed off the line that ran south to Wintersburg from Stanton, if I'm not mistaken.

Charles, I take it you got that shot during final approach to Long Beach?
