The 247-acre abandoned railroad yard, formerly known as Cornfield, located just north of Chinatown and within half a mile from El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. Train tracks are visible in the foreground and center, revealing the area's historical purpose. Workers with forklifts are seen clearing away piles of materials being stored there. A portion of the Broadway Bridge is present in the foreground on the right and a cluster of business towers and skyscrapers in the financial district is seen in the background. In 2006, this site became Los Angeles State Historic Park, Cultural Monument #82. Photo dated December, 2000.
