Above: Taraval Street and Great Highway, Sept. 8, 1922. View east on Taraval from Great Highway showing old terminal of L-line street car tracks. These original tracks between 46th Avenue and Great Highway survived until being replaced in 2021. The Belgian blocks lining the rails were preserved and wwreused to line the new tracks.
