ChineseL.A. Mass Tranist in the Good Ol’ Days
“From 1904 thru the 1920s Los Angeles’s rail transit system continued rapid growth, eventually operating trains on 1100 miles of track along with 2800 scheduled trains daily to become the world’s largest rail mass transit system. This photo shows the opening day of Los Angeles’s first subway in 1928. This view is of the west portal where the trains entered and exited the subway tunnels. The line ended at the Subway Terminal Building. The subway part of the transit system ran only under City Center West to avoid the already congested streets above. When service ended in 1955 the subway was carrying 100,000 passengers per day. Today the west portal sections of abandoned subway tunnels are occassionally used by film studios.”
