The curving span of the Oaklawn Bridge in South Pasadena dates back
over a century, and it is included in the National Register of Historic
Places. It served automobile traffic at least into the 1970s, but is
now reserved for pedestrian and other non-motorized uses.
To the
right of what is visible here the bridge surface drops quite sharply to end at
busy Fair Oaks Ave., nearby To the left, a neighborhood of beautiful old homes extends from the western
access to the bridge.
This model of Siemens light rail vehicle was in
exclusive use on the line until 2008. Most of its cars are numbered
in the 200 series; the one in view here is #246. |
