An additional tour will be offered this summer–details to be announced. \nWhile the Pacific Electric Railway’s Red Cars are one of the best-known fixtures of Los Angeles rail history\, whose name evokes trolley trips to the beaches or mountains for Angeleno history buffs\, the Yellow Cars of the Los Angeles Railway Corporation (or LARy) were equally important. \nFeaturing materials sourced from the Metro Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive\, Metro Art’s exhibition in the Union Station Waiting Room Gallery\, The Yellow Car and Los Angeles\, offers a fond look back at two foundations of public transit in the region: the Yellow Cars and the transition to LA’s first years of bus service. Together\, these early rail and bus lines shaped the Metro system we have today. \nLearn about the history of the Yellow Cars\, how the system connected to Union Station\, and the experience of this LA architectural landmark in its early years. This tour will be co-led by Chris Salvano\, Digital Resources Librarian in the Metro Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive\, and Barbara Lashenick\, Metro Art Docent Council Founder. \nThe tour will begin at the Information Kiosk\, just inside the Alameda side of Historic Union Station\, and involve minimal walking. Following the tour\, guests are encouraged to grab lunch at the station or wander across the street to El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. \nTour is free. \nRSVP on Eventbrite. \n> Learn more about the Yellow Car exhibition\n> Learn more about the Waiting Room Gallery at Union Station URL:https://art.metro.net/event/yellow-car-tour/ LOCATION:Union Station\, 800 N.
