Yard Job
Author: MacBeau

Standing on the First Street bridge in Los Angeles, Jack Delano recorded AT&SF's First Street Yard, March 1943. The wealth of details in this image are a delight to discover. Please credit the Library of Congress for this smoggy look back.
Happy Thanksgiving to all,
—Mac

This area is still a rail yard today. But now it's the location of the LA METRO Subway layover yard and shops.
