Text from newspaper caption: Scores of Civic Center workers were forced to climb the 140 steps from Broadway to the Court-street area between First and Temple streets yesterday when the Court Flight cable cars were temporarily suspended to permit necessary repairs. The flight of 140 steps, 200 feet high, found Civic Center workers who had parked their cars on the hill laboriously making the ascent. The cable cars have been in service for thirty years. [“Workers forced to climb 200-foot hill,” Los Angeles Times, 20 Sep. 1936: 12] View of two Court Flight cable cars, halted for repairs. A man stands behind holding a panel. Four civic workers can be seen climbing the stairs on the right; three are hunched over. Text from negative sleeve: Court St. Flight. 9/19/36. 6644.
