A tour through the $2-billion light rail line that will connect Metro to LAX.
Just before ringing in 2018, the folks at Metro offered us – along with architectural photographer Hunter Kerhart – a look inside the Crenshaw/LAX Line.
The $2-billion light rail line, now under construction, will run along an approximately 8.5-mile route linking the Green Line and Los Angeles International Airport to the Expo Line via communities such as Westchester, Inglewood, Park Mes Heights and Leimert Park. A substantial portion of the line traverses a historic freight rail right-of-way – the Harbor Subdivision – before it turns north to follow the path of a former “Yellow Car” line on the Los Angeles Railway.
