Here we have some cool looking subtransmission architecture along the left including a pole utilizing suspension insulators as dead-ends for a railroad crossing. Open-wire relative to the latter can be seen crossing the roadway. There also is some old 4kv and secondary distribution in view that can be seen in this same basic style here and there around the city.

Photograph taken along South Figueroa Street near the intersection of West Slauson Avenue with the forementioned railroad crossing in the foreground (along the exterme bottom edge of this image).
