LARY A-Line Location
E.R., this photo can be found on the Pacific Electric Railway site under Los Angeles Railway.
http://www.pacificelectric.org/categ...ailway/a-line/ It is a Robert T. McVay photo from the Ralph Cantos Collection and the Sowbelly is crossing over Silver Lake Boulevard on Temple Street while in service on the A-Line. It was taken in 1946 and the A-Line was abandoned on June 30, 1946. As Ed Workman pointed out in his post the Sowbellies were retired in 1947. A quick check of Google Maps reveals that the house was replaced by commercial buildings. Cheers, Jack Quote:

The presence of the Hollywoodland sign means the picture above is post-1923. I think I've found the large white house in this 1918 aerial view. It was on the south side of Yucca near N Las Palmas Avenue. The intersection near the bottom left corner is Hollywood Boulevard and N McCadden Place. I had a look on Historic Aerials, and the house seems to disappear between the 1952 and 1954 images. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...oodAerial1.jpg Detail of picture in USC Digital Library Here's the full picture showing a sparsely populated Hollywood Boulevard going left to right just above the center. The Hollywood Hotel is clearly visible, but the Chinese Theatre didn't open until four years later. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...oodAerial2.jpg USC Digital Library |

You nailed it HossC...that's the house! -the flat roofed structure behind the house also appears in the sepia photo (and maybe, the flat-topped building behind it). but I'm a bit confused by the east west street situation. -isn't that a street besides the white house in the sepia photo? (the one that divides the white house and the "ADDEN" building and 'parking lot'? __ *ok, I revisited the sepia photo and that isn't a street...and what we're looking at, is the side of the "ADDEN" building, not the back. DUH! It takes me awhile sometimes. :) and yes I know "ADDEN" is actually "McCADDEN" |

Here's a screengrab from a late-1940s aerial video of Hollywood Boulevard which I've used several times before (e.g. post #18124 where I just missed the house in question). This view is looking roughly south-east with Hollywood Boulevard in the top right corner and the large white house in the bottom left. It looks like there were two large yards/parking lots between the two http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...BlvdAerial.jpg archive.org |
:previous: I appreciate the clarification Hoss. That aerial helps.
Thanks Wig Wag for digging up the information on the 1946 "sowbelly" street-car slide. Quote:

:hi::previous: MacDonald-Dodson Tire Co. - 1317 S. Hope http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=10205 I would assume the structures in the El Segundo photo background are part of an oil refinery. Look closely at the daylight image. ;) |
unkown stock footage film, Los Angeles vicinity.
I thought one of you "in house" rail-fans here on NLA might be able glean more clues from these three images than I am able to do. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/SbyYPr.jpg old file of mine / collected 2010 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...540/NDEQox.jpg old file of mine below: and then a train arrives. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/Debya9.jpg old file of mine And that's it. I wish I had more details. (the sign on the right, facing the opposite way, is probably the name of the town.....or junction) __ |
A precursor to Cinerama in 1930? I had no idea.

To be fair, Abel Gance's 1927- "Napoleon" employing "Polyvision" may have beaten Fox's "Grandeur" to the punch by two or three years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvision Since "polyvision" would have likely necessitated additional projection equipment, it would be interesting to know whether the 1927-Napoleon contemporaneously appeared in NY or LA with its triple screen format intact. (In 1929, MGM evidently distributed the film in the US - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018192/...?ref_=tt_dt_co ) According to one source, the film was reedited to include only the center action. To tie this topic closer to Los Angeles, I recall the film being screened at the Shrine Auditorium sometime in 1981(?). The poster below only advertises NY, but I am confident there was an LA version too. http://s3.amazonaws.com/auteurs_prod...jpg?1331312065 |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...n.jpg~original scvhistory.com I've mentioned this before in post #19919, but the reason I'm familiar with Saugus Station is that it appeared briefly as Hazzard Station in a season 2 episode of 'The Dukes of Hazzard'. The depot closed in 1978, the Dukes filming was probably done in 1979, and then there was a campaign to save the station. In 1980 it was moved a couple of miles down the road to its current location in the Heritage Junction Historic Park where it survives as the headquarters of the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society. Here's a current view from Drayton Street, a few yards north of the original station location (i.e. roughly where e_r's picture was probably taken from). Today it's very difficult to see the mountains for comparison. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...t.jpg~original GSV |
