A Los Angeles Metro Breda P2550 light rail vehicle, #715, is seen here crossing the Los Angeles River on the First Street bridge, with downtown Los Angeles looming in the background. The southeastern leg of Los Angeles Metro's Gold Line, connecting downtown's Union Station with East L.A., opened on November 15, 2009. The line now forms a C shape, with light rail trains running from Pasadena southwest to Union Station, then southeast to East Los Angeles via Little Tokyo and Boyle Heights.
