Fully-exposed track like that is easy to remove, and in many cases, the track was probably recycled. The track under the streets might still remain, as it is more costly and time-consuming to remove them.Militant Angelenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613730063623882008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-29587458245672278332012-04-03T14:14:48.165-07:002012-04-03T14:14:48.165-07:00Apparently there are several places in town where ...Apparently there are several places in town where the old trolley tracks still exist, just buried under new pavement and those medians (such as the ones on the USC campus, that became visible when they tore up the road to re-do it ahead of the 1984 Olympics). I would love to find out if those tracks are still hiding under the median along Eagle Rock Blvd....Janna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584476738486082393noreply@blogger.com
