Pacific Electric - the L.A. Red Car System Part 2
Silent, Full Color video in three parts.
Shots were taken near the tracks, from a signal box and at a yard.
Considering the footage being made on locations that are normally not open to the public, some -what appears to be- show-rides, and even the cars being piled up at the breaker yard. Both the locations and the details seen in this movie, lead me to believe that the film maker must have had some knowledge and useful PE contacts.
We also see the former city-buses and yellow street trams, switching points and signals, the famous Wig-wag system, street scenes, stations, surrounding areas and lots of trains.
This is a three part video. We did not want to change the timeline as used on the original reel, nor did we hold back any material, since that may derail the thoughts of some exper...

PACIFIC ELECTRIC RAILROAD LONG BEACH LINE 1940s FILM LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA TROLLEY CARS 60124c
This short, silent film shows "The Big Red Cars" of the Pacific Electric railroad in Los Angeles. It was shot by Leo Caloia, an amateur cameraman who filmed many subjects in Southern California in the mid to late 1940s. The start of the film shows interurban trolley car 1535 on Long Beach Blvd. This "blimp" car was typically mated with 1537. Car 1519 is seen at 2:08 and 1529 at 3:21. The Los Angeles-to-Long Beach passenger rail line was the longest-serving of all the Pacific Electric routes, running from July 4, 1903, until April 9, 1961. Ironically, it was both the first and last interurban passenger line of the P.E. system.
The Pacific Electric Railway Company, nicknamed the Red Cars, was a privately owned mass transit system in Southern California consisting of electrically powered s...

TITLE: Pacific Electric & Los Angeles Railway
ITEM NUMBER: D-148
LIST PRICE: $26.50
PROGRAM LENGTH: 1-hr. 53-min.
DESCRIPTION:
This DVD outlines the history of both of these famous electric rail lines. They were both started by Henry. E. Huntington at the beginning of the 20th Century. For a time they were intertwined and created with a similar purpose.
This program has a wealth of color movie film from 1940, to the complete end in 1963. The accurate sound recordings, accompanying these movie scenes, bring back the auditory experience of living in those bygone years.
Maps and graphics were specially created to enhance the relevance of the beautiful and nostalgic color movie scenes. These are presented with a well-researched and meaningful historic narrative.
Learn about the high-stakes competition played out by Henry Huntington and the railroad giant, E. H. Harriman, that went on from 1900 to 1911. This struggle was a big factor in how Southern California was developed. And, these forces have long shadows that still effect things today. Learn some of the less-known reasons that both lines were allowed to 'go fallow'.
See hundreds of nostalgic views of streetcars, interurban trains, city and suburban life and even those pesky automobiles over the decades. It's like stepping back to a more certain time when things seemed more clear-headed.

Silent, Full Color video in three parts.
Shots were taken near the tracks, from a signal box and at a yard.
Considering the footage being made on locations that are normally not open to the public, some -what appears to be- show-rides, and even the cars being piled up at the breaker yard. Both the locations and the details seen in this movie, lead me to believe that the film maker must have had some knowledge and useful PE contacts.
We also see the former city-buses and yellow street trams, switching points and signals, the famous Wig-wag system, street scenes, stations, surrounding areas and lots of trains.
This is a three part video. We did not want to change the timeline as used on the original reel, nor did we hold back any material, since that may derail the thoughts of some expert viewers who might be able and willing to share their valuable knowledge. However, we did edit the film where and when needed, some very rough overlays (welds) were cut out. It did not lead to any loss of good material though. Please chime in and share your knowledge with us to better the information we are providing with this video.
The first scenes are on the Northern District at Macy St yard, and there's shots at Watts car house with 00199 (1001) and the Hollywood cars on the WATTS line. The last portion with the MTA emblems on the cars may have been taken in the last year of the Long Beach Line.
There's more to be seen, but so far we identified the following:
Enchanola Junction, a PE Box Motor Car, the Maintenance of Way (MOW) Tower Car - or Wire Greaser - PE 0150, PE 00137, a garage or Car House, PE 00199, shots from a signal box, shots from within a car pursuing the train, PE 411, Amoco Tower, a worker is oiling a point, PE 307, PE 731-or 34, PE locomotive 1620 w equipment, various buses, trains nearing 6th & Main Street Terminal, interior of PE 1318 with fare inspector, PE 1510, a Greyhound bus passing by, unidentified train entering an unknown station, PE cars at breaker yard being piled up, PE 9223, PE 1541, PE 1329, Los Cerritos, PE train passes oil field, PE 1541, Vernon Avenue, Amoco Tower and various PCC Cars

This short, silent film shows "The Big Red Cars" of the Pacific Electric railroad in Los Angeles.

Ironically, it was both the first and last interurban passenger line of the P.E. system.
The Pacific Electric Railway Company, nicknamed the Red Cars, was a privately owned mass transit system in Southern California consisting of electrically powered streetcars, interurban cars, and buses and was the largest electric railway system in the world in the 1920s. Organized around the city centers of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, it connected cities in Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County.
The system shared dual gauge track with the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge Los Angeles Railway, "Yellow Car," or "LARy" system on Main Street in downtown Los Angeles (directly in front of the 6th and Main terminal), on 4th Street, and along Hawthorne Boulevard south of downtown Los Angeles toward the cities of Hawthorne, Gardena, and Torrance.
We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting? Tell people what it is and what they can see by writing something for example: "01:00:12:00 -- President Roosevelt is seen meeting with Winston Churchill at the Quebec Conference."
