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.

In addition to his wide ranging solo work and style experimentation since the 1960s\, Bradford is noted for his work with John Carter and Ornette Coleman. In the 1970s\, he founded and ran The Little Big Horn in Pasadena legendary for Sunday evening jazz jam sessions. In October 2009\, Bradford became the second recipient of the Festival of New Trumpet Music’s Award of Recognition. Bradford was a revered jazz history and ensemble professor who taught at Pasadena City College as well as Pomona College for over 44 years until he retired last year\, influencing and inspiring generations of LA musicians who passed through. Bradford will be performing as bandleader for Stealin’ Home – A Jackie Robinson Suite\, which was originally commissioned by the Baseball Reliquary in 2018.
