7 was a line operated by the Los Angeles Railway from 1932 to 1955. It ran from Spring and 2nd Streets to Athens and 116th Street, by way of Spring Street, Main Street, Broadway Place, Broadway, and Athens Way. During its Los Angeles Transit Lines days, c. 1950-55, Line 7 was rerouted (or detoured) off S. Broadway to Central Ave., at least as far north as 7th St. across Olympic Bl. to possibly Vernon Av., covering trackage that was abandoned rail by line U, when that line was converted to trolleybus August 3, 1947.
