FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM @_UNKNOWNXLA_ DM ME ANY QUESTIONS I'm on Instagram as _unknownxla_. https://www.instagram.com/invites/con... This video we explain how the Los Angeles Metro systems are growing and now taking over the old abandoned red and yellow street cars that were occupied in the late 1940 - 1970 . Many of the abandoned lines and tracks still lay under the Los Angeles downtown area below the roads. back then the city didn’t have money to replace the tracks so it was covered with asphalt but now with streets decaying most of whats covered is starting to see daylight . Most tracks are used for metro , metrolink , union Pacific , bike paths or all together left abandoned in some areas. Most were taken and replaced by homes or freeways / streets. --THE WEST SANTA ANA BRANCH ---- The West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor project is proposed as a 20-mile light rail transit line that would connect downtown Los Angeles to Artesia. Along the route, it would also serve the communities of Vernon, Huntington Park, Bell, Cudahy, South Gate, Downey, Paramount, Bellflower and Cerritos in the southeast area of the county. The southern portion route, east and south of Slauson, leaves the A Line corridor via the former Pacific Electric Whittier Line, continues south on a former BNSF rail line (Florence/Salt Lake to Paramount/Rosecrans), and then transitions to the old Santa Ana right of way (south of Paramount/Rosecrans). These corridors are owned by Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach and Metro, requiring minimal property acquisition. The northern alignment through Downtown Los Angeles is being studied as possible underground light rail transit route. Six options were proposed. As of 2018, two options were being considered (both of which would connect to the southern alignment by paralleling the A Line between Washington and Slauson stations, as well as part of an existing freight rail line along Randolph Street Alameda Street (Alternative E): A subway under Alameda, passing through the Arts District and connecting to the L Line at Little Tokyo before continuing on to Los Angeles Union Station. Downtown Transit Core (Alternative G): Would deviate westward from the Alameda route in the Arts District and continue downtown via a subway, terminating at either 7th Street/Metro Center or Pershing Square. By March 2018, Cerritos had opted out of the project, leaving the southern terminus at Pioneer.] In November 2018, Metro removed the Blue Line stations north of Slauson from the study area, citing redundant service and expedited travel times as the prime reasons. #unionpacific #metro In 2019, Metro announced that as part of its design analysis, it would study opening the line in two stages, with the initial opening $1 billion segment running from Pioneer Station in Artesia north to Slauson Station on the Blue Line, with the remainder of the $3 billion route into downtown built as phase two. Metro staff were "optimistic" that it would be feasible to build the line to Slauson by 2028 with existing Measure M funds. Metro was also studying public-private partnerships that could accelerate the construction schedule of the entire line. The service is not planned to interline with the A Line to 7th Street/Metro Center due to operational constraints.[8] Under the proposed plans, design for the initial segment would be complete by 2021 and construction would begin in 2022. THE FULL VIDEO OF THE Pacific Electric    • Ride The Last Red Car Los Angeles April 1961   SANTA MONICA AIR LINE --- NOW CALLED THE METRO E LINE (EXPO) Beginning at the Pacific Electric Building at Sixth and Main streets, the line crossed Los Angeles Street on a viaduct to reach San Pedro Street, where it turned south. It turned from San Pedro onto Ninth Street and ran to a right-of-way. At 25th Street and Long Beach Boulevard, at what was called Amoco (American Olive Company) Junction, the Air Line left the Watts main route and went west on a single track right-of-way diagonally across the city grid until Flower Street, where it joined Exposition Boulevard. At the west end of Exposition, the route followed Jefferson Boulevard to La Cienega, where it generally followed Washington and National Boulevards until Culver Junction. Culver Junction to Santa Monica The route turned north until it crossed Overland Avenue, continued on a right-of-way between Exposition and Olympic before reaching Colorado and paralleling that road to Santa Monica. The line curved to the southeast to meet Pico just west of Main Street. It ended south of Main and Hollister at the Ocean Park car house.
