In this photograph, we see the first block of the 6th & Main Station viaduct, under
construction in June of 1916. This photo was apparently taken from one of the upper floors of
the 6th and Main Station building, looking over South Los Angeles Street towards Maple Street.
To the right rear you can see the part of the viaduct that was built in 1909 and 1910.

This photograph was taken at street level on Maple Street looking towards the 6th and Main
Station building. This is the same construction project as above, viewed from the opposite
end of the structure. The structure to the left is the portion of the viaduct that has been
in service since 1910.

In this third photograph, we see the same viaduct structure from just above street level looking
across South Los Angeles Street towards Maple Street. The fabricator for this project was
obviously Llewellen Iron Works. The date on the Pantages billboard makes it clear that this
photo was taken in mid 1916. In this photo there are PE cars on the portion of the viaduct that
has been in place for 5+ years already (behind the new structure).
