1284 at Sunset and Spring
The 7 line was interesting (or dull, depending on you perception) because there was, fundamentally, only one curve on the entire line, which ran from Sunset and Spring to 116th and Broadway.
That curve was a gentle soft turn just south of Santa Barbara on Broadway. There was also some jogging around in the area of 9th and 10th Sts, but that really doesnt count.
The 7 line was the only line the could handle the experimental cars of the 2600 class, which otherwise gave trouble because of their great overhang on curves.
