Since the port of Los Angeles/Long Beach is the largest port
of entry into the USA, the answer would be almost anything
found on the shelves of the big box stores.

What is amazing is to see one of those unit trains heading
east out across the California desert.

I'm guessing that those trains are at least a half mile long.

They are visible from several miles and almost give the
appearance of being a model train layout.

After that, it would be the food grown in the central valley
headed east to the markets.
