  title Last Trolley Ride Of The Day 

  description View of a trolley car emerging from the Broadway tunnel north portal, the last trolley ride of the day. A construction site is on the left, with a view of City Hall in the background. The construction equipment is leveling Fort Moore Hill for the yet-to-be-built freeway connector through downtown Los Angeles. The photo shows a "shoo-fly" bypass for the street and the streetcar tracks. The tunnel ran from a short block north of Temple Street to just south of Sunset Blvd. (now Cesar Chavez).
