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 on the right, revealing the area's historical purpose. Workers with forklifts are seen in the center clearing away piles of materials being stored there. A cluster of business towers and skyscrapers in the financial district stands out in the background. In 2006, this site became Los Angeles State Historic Park, Cultural Monument #82. Photo dated December, 2000.
