F (Los Angeles Railway)

F was a line operated by the Los Angeles Railway from 1920 to 1956.

1920 Alignment

The original alignment, when the Los Angeles Railway began operations, ran from the intersection of Fresno Street and 1st Street in Boyle Heights, to the intersection of Vermont Avenue and 116th Street, by way of Fresno Street, 4th Street, 4th Place, 3rd Street, Main Street, Jefferson Boulevard, Grand Avenue, Santa Barbara Avenue, Hoover Street, a private right of way, and Vermont Street.

1939 Alignment

The opening of Union Station in 1939 resulted in the creation of a loop segment on the building's north side, which served as the new northern terminus for the line. The 4th street track was cut out, and the new loop connected to the remainder of the route by way of Macy Street and Main Street. The southern terminus was also cut back to the corner of Vermont Avenue and Manchester Avenue.
