The conductor on Pacific Electric interurban "blimp" no. 317 unfurls his flag to warn motorists of the car's large swing as it descends the elevated terminal onto San Pedro Street. The switch tender in the shack (LEFT) controls switches in and out of the elevated structure.

Harre Demoro took this image of Pacific Electric Long Beach interurban no. 300 pulling into track no. 2 on the elevated structure of the 6th and Main Terminal. The terminal had some very sharp switch points, seen here.

A view of the 6th and Main Street Pacific Electric Station looking northward on Main Street. Several interesting items to note. First is the dual gauge tracks on Main Street. The standard gauge Pacific Electric tracks straddled that of the narrow gauge tracks of the Los Angeles Railway. The 3 trolleys seen in the background are narrow gauge cars. Also interesting to note is the scaled-down lower quadrant semaphore signal that is placed curbside just before the rail entrance of the station. The blades of the signal seem to be pointing to what may be the tower operators cupola windows.
