Southbound on the West Basin Line
From photographer Stephen Dudley:
Going around the West Basin track – southbound – taken from the front steps of the head car.
On 6-30-1957 I was on a charter with 5 blimps that went from LA to San Pedro, Catalina Terminal and Long Beach. I’ve described the pictures as they attached to this email – obviously their sequence follows the order of the trip. All passengers were in the lead car. This was the first 5 car train in a long time and perhaps the last. Running through downtown Long Beach was an unusual sight.

I rode a 5 or 6 car fantrip train on the Long Beach line around 1960. It was divided in two for street running in LA and Long Beach.
