Once off the Palm Garden Bridge the street cars had a long, not too steep, climb up "Ravine St." past the South Hills Cars Shops and storage area. This is what might be called the eastern section of the yard. The switch onto the mainline was about 1/3rd the distance from the admin building to the Palm Garden trestle. Interurban 1616 sitting here was in the yard - the two tracks immediatly to the right of 1616 were the ones used by 38-39-42 cars. In the latter days of PRCo - 1955-1964 - the 1600 series interurbans were kept here as they only saw service in the rush hour - very rarely otherwise. It was unusual to see a 17 interurban here "on the east side" of the yard - they were kept on the western side for the most part. PCC cars at Palm Garden loop itself usually needed some kind of repair. There was a direct entrance into the yard from the Palm Garden Loop. A couple of the tracks on the left were stub end and had to be backed into from the ladder track in the foreground.
