| | The Metro Blue Line |
 | | The Metro Blue Line, L.A.'s first light rail transit system, runs from 7th Street in Downtown L.A., through the communities of Vernon, Huntington Park, South Gate, Watts, Compton, Carson, finally ending in downtown Long Beach. |
 | | The gangs in the area are known to have a respect for the rail line, and recognize that the trains are not part of their turf. |
 | | The biggest problem facing the Blue Line is grade crossing accidents, and additional features like a third "pylon" light added on top of the front of the train and lowered fences for added train visibility. |
