San Bernardino Split, the junction of Ramona Fwy, 1950

1950, Looking westerly as Pacific Electric cars cross over the San Bernardino Split, the junction of Ramona Fwy (US-60-70-99) and Santa Ana Fwy (US-101), just east of LA civic center (DWP Associates photo).

Tunnel at bottom carried WB Ramona Fwy traffic under PE tracks; Mission Rd ramps at center-right. Tunnel and tracks were removed in 1955 when flyover connector was built.

Ramona Fwy is now San Bernardino Fwy, although in this area it is merely Route 10, a stub of I-10. Landmarks include: gasometers (natural gas storage tanks) in background; LA City Hall and Federal Courthouse in right background.  Thank you to Arturo Salazar.
