Los Angeles Railway
3149 on Route P at 1st Street
This car is actually on, not at, 1st Street.  It is passing though an area which had, prior to 1942, been home to a large number of American citizens who had the misfortune of having had Japanese ancestors, and thus who, in the most unconstitutional but unfortunately not un-American  fashion, had their civil rights and property stripped from them and were deported to concentration camps.  The P-3s, most modern cars on the system, hardly repaid the shameful treatment that they received at the hands of their own government.
