Is that Twitter account run by the Facebook group of the same name?  The Facebook group is probably one of the best localized road groups IMO.

Very nice! Some good archival CH&PW stuff mixed in there too. Shame about the Getty Images watermarks.

I believe so.  It seems that it's the twitter account of one of the main posters on the Facebook group.  If you follow the Facebook group, you won't necessarily need to follow the Twitter.  Plus, you can enjoy the contributions of other members on the FB.  His picture posts would be identical on both platforms, but obviously commenters could be different.

I'm not on FB, so fortunately the posts are on the public part of the platform.

Has anyone seen - either on this Twitter feed - or anywhere else on the Internet - a good picture of the old freeway to freeway interchange between the unsigned SR-10 (San Bernardino Freeway [once I-105]) and the southbound US-101 Santa Ana Freeway - before it was torn down?  Would love to see it / have a copy.  A stub part of the old ramp is still present where it used to connect to the 101 but it is hard to see from 101 Fwy SB after continuing past the SR-10 EB split.

This site has some good pictures of the 101.  Included is an aerial photograph of the San Bernardino Split interchange showing the flyover ramp that once existed connecting the westbound San Bernardino Fwy to the southbound Santa Ana Freeway.  The ramp was removed in 1995, as it was considered superfluous with the current I-10 routing along the southbound Golden State Fwy [to reach the Santa Monica Fwy].

Here's a tweet I saw on that page:

It looks like somebody in a bus or motor home tried to pull off onto the median, but ended up sliding down to the bridge.

Here's a view of that ramp from the movie "Up in Smoke".  I thought it had been removed due to seismic or height issues.

Thank you and thanks to MrsMan for helping me out on this.  This is a great shot.  Appreciate it.

It would be nice if the picture showed the junction at 101. So I could compare that to what is still there now

Look at that bus lane entrance at Mission!

I know.  I can tell you that it looks like a piece of the ramp where it touches down near the 101 mainline is still there.  Unusable of course but you can see if it you look real quick as you are taking the 101 South to 101 South ramp past the I-10 junction.

This is the preceding shot (56:49), unfortunately it doesn't follow around to where it joins US 101:


Here is where it comes into the 101:
