The Original Belmont Tunnel

The Historic Toluca Train Yard also know as The Legendary Belmont Tunnel had been vacant for decades. This location was originally the hub of the Pacific Electric Railway located in downtown Los Angeles. For over 35 years this non working train yard was used as a court to play an ancient Aztec and Mayan ball game called Tarasca. On the weekends groups of Angelino's would gather to play Tarasca, barbecue, play music and watch the ball game. Graffiti artists would work on pieces and the old train yard also doubled as an outdoor gallery.
