Description
Photograph of carriages and street cars moving west along Sunset Boulevard on Tunnel Day, Los Angeles, September 15, 1909.

Utility poles line it to either side in through the center. Hills are visible in the background.; Picture file card reads "Before the tunnels, the electric line operated to Hollywood via Spring Street, Main Street and the Plaza, but with the arrival of the tunnels this changed. Also, the gauge was broadened. The view is looking east of Vendom [?]. Sunset swings to the left behind the hill where the new Silver Lake crossing bridge is now being built.".
