The photos are going from north to south along the 8.5-mile route for the Crenshaw/LAX Line. I posted a map of the light rail line at the very bottom of the post. The project is forecast to open in fall 2019 and is funded primarily by Measure R, the half-cent sales tax approved by Los Angeles County voters in 2008.
Measure M — which has a substantial lead as vote counting continues — would help fund and accelerate an additional station at Aviation/96th St, which will serve as the transfer point to the future LAX people mover that will serve the airport terminals.
All the pics plus a few others are in this Flickr album. Feel free to use and share!

I believe this disproves some people’s assumption that the crews are working from one end to the other. Work is proceeding all over the place at the same time! I have been watching some of the progress from the freeways near the airport.
The absolute best way to see the progress: get a window seat on the right side of a plane landing on LAX’s south runway. Great views right up Aviation, not to mention some views of other work.

I have not been able to get you photos on your email post. I am running iMac 10.12.1. I get the letter and no photos.
This set of photos really gives a sense of what a massive undertaking a project like this is, more so than others that have been posted here. It seems to be missing a link to the Flickr album, though. Who gets credit for taking the pictures?
