Back in the early 50's , Los angeles and Long Beach, where I grew up, had a great electric trolley system that covered the whole LA basin. I am old enough to have ridden the big red Pacific Electric (PE) cars. GM paid the bribes and had the tracks pulled up. GM sold busses. End of public transet by rail in LA. Thanks GM.

I rode 'em in Phila.. Alot of the tracks were still there in the early nineties. They ran the old PCC trolleys from the thirties right till the end (88 or 89) I used to ride one on the way to school. I was facinated by the things.
