bif that is a power substation,the great thing about the "vine-yard" was that it was a juntion point ,you could travel northwest to beverly hills along san vincente,or west along venice.but in order to power the wonderful pe cars they had to use alot of juice.there are a few sub stations left,one on washington towards downtown,and one in culver city called the "ivy" station,they were never used for storage or passengers.
