Bus shuttles will replace Metro Expo Line service between La Cienega/Jefferson Station and Culver City Station on Saturday, Nov. 23 in order for Metro to perform planned track maintenance.
Train service will only run between 7th St/Metro Center and La Cienega/Jefferson from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bus shuttles will be implemented between the La Cienega/Jefferson and Culver City stations during this time to help customers reach their destinations. Announcements will be made at the stations.
Stay updated by following Metro on Twitter @metroLAalerts or @metrolosangeles.
The work being done includes the replacement of a frog junction that allows trains to switch tracks smoothly and seamlessly. Check out the video below to see how frog junctions work!

Cute that your video source was from a model railroad site. All still valid of course! Does Metro use NMRA gauge standards? 🙂
On the map, it looks like there’s one next to where Sherbourne Dr dead-ends at the tracks, and the other a block east, by Cattaragus Ave.
It’s Expo at Cattaraugus Ave
Where is this junction located?
I live thee doors down from this frog junction. I’ve noticed as trains go by it sounds very clunky as the wheels pass over the junction. Will this maintenance improve the smoothness of the train as is goes by?
Hi JP,
That is indeed what the work is intended to do.
