I lived on Victoria Ave for a couple of years around 1960. During that time, there was a street repair job on Victoria and I was surprised to see that when the pavement was removed, there were some rails remaining that had been buried for many years. During the time the L line was in operation, Olympic Blvd was not cut all the way through, so the L line took a roundabout route.
the tracks are still there on country club and windsor on the eastside of the streets.they repaved victoria right before olympic about 5 yrs ago and i think they took up the rest of the track,but as of a month ago country club still had track.
