Marmion Way through Highland Park sees only
modest
street activity on its very narrow, divided roadway; but Gold Line trains
ply through here regularly, at greatly reduced speeds.
There are street crossings at almost
every block.
This stretch of light rail follows the former Santa Fe route that
once accommodated such famous passenger trains as the Super Chief
and El Capitan between Southern California and Chicago. It is
somewhat difficult to conceive of such traffic, and of long
freights, traveling along the street median here -- once upon a
time. The last (very limited) passenger service, and remaining
freight runs, ended in 1994. |
