LOS ANGELES METRO HEAVY RAIL
North Hollywood Station Entrance |

Because of the lack of outdoor viewing
opportunities for one riding on the system, the subway itself may be a less than spectacular experience
for the transit lover; but the
routes gets credit from many observers for its artistic effects at station
entrances and within the various stations.
The photo above shows, from some hundred yards
or so away, the
entrance to the last stop on the Red Line in North Hollywood. You may
like its design, or hate it -- but it is surely different.
The Metro Orange Line bus route has its eastern terminal nearby.
It
runs on dedicated right of way, much of which was formerly a Southern
Pacific branch line, with limited stops west along a swath across most of the San Fernando
Valley. The route, which is currently being extended north, shows up on Metro Rail maps. |
