Explore the depths of L.A.'s forgotten railway tunnels and learn why they were abandoned.
As automobile ownership was on a steady rise in 1920s Los Angeles, Pacific Electric Railway developers sought out ways to modernize their aging system, creating subway tunnels that ran under L.A.'s congested downtown area. Some of those tunnels, like the abandoned Belmont substation under Bunker Hill, still exist today.
