Photograph of site of Pacific Electric grade separation over Mission Road after construction, March 1937. In the extreme foreground at center, a grassy hill covered in shrubs can be seen. In the background at center, a large overpass bridge lined with sets of metallic tracks is visible. A trolley can be seen moving along the center of the bridge. Underneath the bridge, two separate streets at left can be seen combining into a single street at right. Originally, the tracks for the trolley intersected the two streets.
