Eastbound on the Santa Monica Air Line at 11th Avenue siding - September 25, 1953

Alan Weeks photographed Pacific Electric Railway car 5125 eastbound passing the 11th Avenue siding.
About the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus train on the siding, he wrote in 2008:
"They used to have the circus every year at Washington and Hill Streets. They would put a huge tent up on vacant land.
Billy Graham had his first Tent meeting there in 1949. I know because I attended the meeting at age 17."
