LOS ANGELES RED LINE IS HALFWAY TO COMPLETION
The 29.9 km alignment which is to run underground from the Central Business District to North Hollywood with a completion date of September 1993 is 55 percent complete. The line is conventional steel-wheel steel-rail and standard gauge and will use stainless steel cars, automatic train control, a comprehensive communications network and some integration with the bus system. Phase II of the project had to be rerouted due to methane gas and interference with Hollywood productions.
