LA Converts Old Rail Yard into State Historic Park
Los Angeles converts old rail yard into a State Historic Park near China Town. The space occupies the site of a train depot built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1875 is finally opening on April 22. You can run, walk, ride a bike, have a picnic, fly a kite and even look for urban wildlife such as birds traveling down the Pacific flyway. Do all of these things and more while inventive architectural features in the landscape hint of the park’s history. The Metro Gold Line zips past the south side of the park on raised tracks following the course of a water system that stretched from the Los Angeles River to El Pueblo in the early 1800s. The history of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s River Station, opened in 1875, includes a waterwheel, freight house, roundhouse, depot and station yard. Rows of grass now a hint of the vanished railroad tracks, reflect the travels of the thousands of people who arrived here from all over the country and world.
