1291 on an SC-ERA fantrip on the U line at 1st St and Bimini Place. The car is turning into a loop, generally known as 1st and Vermont, a short turn loop for the V line in later years. The U line never went within miles of this location. Bimini Place just short of 1st St. was where the H line right-of-way ended. The H line had passed by Bimini Baths, a wonderful plunge and natatorium in the manner of Sutros in The City. That location is two block to the left of the photo. There was a decent hot dog stand built within this loop, the 1st St. trackage of which was constructed after the H line was abandoned.
