I realized that I already had this image of a Red Car headed south on Vermont and the end of the same station can be seen in it:

There used to be a railroad crossbuck right before the point where the tracks merged into the middle of Vermont Ave with the lettering "Pacific Electric" on the vertical post. I thought that was cool, as most of the other ones I had seen at ex-PE tracks had "Southern Pacific" on them (Southern Pacific of course was the parent company of PE and operated the freight service over those tracks that survived. Of course, SP is gone, having merged with Union Pacific in the 90s).
