Happy 20th birthday, L. A. Metro Blue Line |

Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Wed Jul 14 20:35:36 2010 Yep, the first rail line in the L. A. area in 27 years opened on this date in 1990. I was there on day one and took a few pics: An opening day banner at Pico station (the north terminal until 2/14/91). I missed the train crashing through the paper banner :(    After a wait of well over an hour in mid-90s heat, finally I was aboard!  This is making the curve from Flower St onto Washington Blvd. This is where the junction between the Blue Line and the future Exposition line will be. Note the 1981 RTS-04 on the 68 at the left. To accommodate the bandwidth-challenged, I will put the 2nd part of these opening day pics in another post. |
