Need more info. The corrals belong to a horse trader. This may be on the LA Jct. at Vernon.


And finally, a stunning view of Eighth Street Yard, the SP freight Warehouses, and the Prroduce Market. Central Station is at the top of photo.

All photos from USC Digital Library, and the Los Angeles Public Library.

  1. The 8th photo is of the PE / SP Butte St. Yards. Shot is looking NE taken from just east of Alameda above 25th St. PE on the left (north side) has power support poles. The smaller SP yard is on the right. Later, Butte St. will also be known as SP's "J" Yard.
