I will leave it to one of the real transit experts here to expound if they wish to, but yes, streetcars ran on Third Street. Below is an often-seen image from the LAPL, with a car heading west on Third east of Bunker Hill (aka "
Beaudry Hill"***). As LARy lines were revised over the years, Third had a line as far west as La Brea.
***I was lucky enough to tune into the Windsor Square–Hancock Park Historical Society's great presentation this past week of Nathan Marsak's work on Bunker Hill. I don't know if a video of it is available on Youtube or somewhere, but Noirishers should seek it out. Bunker Hill and our own Beaudry really come alive.
