Los Angeles Railway
1403 on Route S at 50th
Street & Crenshaw
'Tis the 5 line, not the
S line, Southbound on Crenshaw, on the way to Inglewood and Hawthorne.
This line was so long that a motorman could only make about 1.5 trips before
his eight hours were used up. It ran from Eagle Rock (near Pasadena)
all the way through downtown, then west past the Coliseum (home of the
Rams, once, and the Trojans, still, as well as the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Rodeo) and ultimately south to Inglewood (race track specials abounded)
and Hawthorne, way out where NOBODY lives (sure).
