By Joseph A. Strapac 2024 Southern Pacific Historic and Technical Society

For anyone with an interest in the Los Angeles area Pacific Electric system - once the world's largest interurban rail network -this fascinating book records the life and times of this fleet of 125 cars that served for half a century, many ending their days on the iconic LA to Long Beach line. This was the corridor that saw the rebirth in the 1980s of a streetcar system in Southern California's largest metropolitan region. The high price is justified by the book's superb quality and historic imagery.
