Notice the PERFECT, HIGH QUALITY of the rail in this photo, very typical of streetcar rail all over Los Angeles. I am sure that this perfect rail is still largley intact all along Main Street just wainting to be uncovered for the “new LA Streetcar Project” The reuse of this track would save millions of dollars for the project. I can dream, can’t I.
