This classic Dick Whittington photo captures the sheer dominance of Los Angeles Railway action in pre-World War II downtown Los Angeles. Here, LARy 1387 passes through the intersection of 7th Street and Broadway, while numerous other LARy cars fill the image. The high-vantage-point image is a true classic of Los Angeles history.
