toluca substation

In Reservoir Dogs, Freddy / Mr. Orange rehearses part of his drug story in front of L.A.'s Toluca Substation. The substation, and the Belmont Tunnel next to it, dates back to the 1920s, leftover from the Pacific Electric Railway line that ran from downtown Los Angeles to Westlake. You can find the tunnel (now sealed) and the substation (now cleared of the graffiti) behind the Belmont Station Apartments that were completed in 2008.
