Continuing the week’s theme of old SoCal railroads, Alex forwarded along this story from the LA City Nerd blog, Hollywood “Slash”

A reader, Tim, asked what the “slash” across Hollywood/West Hollywood was. So, to answer, look no farther than the former Pacific Electric “red car” lines.

The entry includes so some cool pics from Google maps showing various points in the city where you can still see remnants of the lines, as well as some informative reader comments. Definitely worth a look.
