562 on a fantrip on October 13 1946. This is probably on Marmion Way, and in the background we find rising Mt. Washington (not to be confused with New Hampshire, I assure you). At one time, this line (the W in regular service) connected to the Mt. Washington Incline RR, one of several that were built in LA. LA did have an unique solution to the incline problem in downtown, where there once were hills on either side of Hill St (how odd). They simply removed the hills, both Broadway and Bunker. (The present Angels Flight is but a shadow of the former scope and slope of the operation).
