Anticipating the Gold Line route:
I apologize if this has been posted before. Nothing turned up in multiple searches, although I'd find it odd if it's never been posted before.
Super Chief, 8:45am, 25 January 1948: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-I...430%2520PM.jpg http://www.retronaut.com/2013/03/tra...-through-wall/ After arriving from Chicago, engine #19L uncoupled from its cars and attempted to enter a switch. However, it failed to brake, crashing through a steel bumper post and concrete wall, coming to rest suspended 20 feet over Aliso Street not far from Philippe's. A 250-ton crane took five hours to get it back on the track. No one was hurt. Wiki reports that the engineer lost his job over the incident. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P...404%2520PM.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AT...on_Station.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-a...613%2520PM.jpg http://www.retronaut.com/2013/03/tra...-through-wall/ Today: The Gold Line tracks cross the El Monte Busway and Santa Ana Freeway: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-S...224%2520PM.jpg gsv More info: http://laist.com/2008/08/02/found_in...ain_derail.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Chief |
An encore for the historic Dunbar Hotel
"Once the home of jazz greats in the heart of the African American music scene, the Central Avenue hotel had fallen on hard times. It's now been revived as a senior-living facility." Over a dozen pictures included as well. :) |

Fatal bus/tow truck accident this morning at the old Milliron's. I seem to remember a historic accident there but couldn't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about b/c I don't. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=11039

Many Great LA Photos at this Site
I found this great set of 173 vintage photos. Some of you will click on the link but I know it will not tempt everyone. Those who do will be rewarded.
Most I had not seen before. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/g_c...7625895927403/ |
I can't find the original, but I found BifRayRock quoting sopas ej
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=7837 Google has a feature where you can search for an image based on a URL of an image. It comes in very handy on this forum when you want to check if something has been posted before. You do a basic image search, and click on the icon of a camera to select search by image Quote:

Hello I am new to this amazing thread!!:) I think the accident you were referring to at this corner was one that involved an ambulance driver and a couple of doctors. I cant remember the names unfortunately.:shrug: |

That's excellent, useful info. sopas ej's post is here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...43#post5559343 (At least I added a couple of new photos, so don't feel a complete dolt.)

I haven't been able to get out with my camera to get some good noirish shots. I have been trying to preserve some noir however. :)
1960 Rambler American. It has original 1960 CA plates. [IMG]file:///C:/Users/dmhtherapist4/AppData/Local/Temp/WPDNSE/%7B00000002-0000-0000-0200-000000000000%7D/IMG_0865.JPG[/IMG] I have been unable to get the image to show so far :(. The link should work though. |
Links

The link does not work. On this website it is usually best to link your photos to an image hosting site such as "photobucket.com". When posting my photos I use photobucket's IMG link. It very easy to use that photo hosting website. I want to see that 1960 Rambler! Douglas |
Aliso then and now
Quote:
The current Aliso Street is obviously the old Commercial Street west of Alameda. I guess they thought keeping the popular name Aliso alive that way. |

http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/jo...788_o.jpg.html Hopefully this works. The restoration on this noirish ride is coming along well :). Unsure how to post image directly here without having to redirect to a link. Sorry guys, my forum posting skills are a little primitive to say the least :help: |
drumhedd...not to worry, everyone has trouble at first. ---and welcome to noirish L.A.
