Those of you who are familiar with Ira Swett's "Lines of Pacific
Electric - Western District" know his "morning, noon, and night"
pictures of Toluca yard, taken from atop the subway portal.  This
afternoon a gentleman named Sergio Guerrero emailed me a picture he
took on Oct 27 from ALMOST the same spot (the exact location is now
blocked by construction atop the tunnel), looking northwest at the
substation and toward the Beverly viaduct.  

Notice I said at the substation but toward the viaduct.  See why at

The series of shots, from 1925 to now, is at

Thanks to Sergio for the photo and his permission to use it on my
website.
