Finally, L.A. Metro Blue Line pics!



Car 125 at 7th St/Metro Center station in early 1991.



Later in 1991, a northbound train as seen from the Artesia Blvd overpass, just south of Artesia station. (to get this pic, I had to climb up the embankment, but well worth it. No, I wasn't trespassing, I walked in the area next to the then-Southern Pacific track which is seen to the left of the Blue Line tracks, an area open to the public. Those ties you see by that track were for a spur that SP was about to build that branched off the SP track to a factory just north of the Artesia station parking lot.)



And finally, a southbound train approaching 103rd St station in April of 1998. The lead car had been painted in the lousy "yellowjacket" color scheme. I was actually aboard an MTA bus driven by a friend of mine on line 251 (may have been route 252), which laid over by the station.
