Street work on La Brea in Inglewood in recent days has churned up the old streetcar tracks that once carried the Number 5 line of the Los Angeles Railway from Hawthorne to Eagle Rock. A portion of the route included the future Crenshaw/LAX Line alignment along Florence Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard.

Many thanks to Gerald for sending us the pics and related information!
