Description	Looking south at Temple to the Hill Street Tunnel bored through a part of Bunker Hill in 1909 by Los Angeles Pacific (a predecessor of Pacific Electric). It connects Hill Street from First to Temple. Streetcar traffic uses the right tunnel - a "Private Way for Trains" sign is on top - and automobiles the left. Passengers wait on benches for the Pacific "Red Line" streetcar. The parking lot on top of the tunnel is full. Palm trees sit in front of apartment houses on top of the hill.
