San Pedro Red Cars |
This former tourist line in San Pedro served the
Passenger Ship Terminals of San Pedro. At one time the Pacific Electric
had service to San Pedro from LA. Now a small portion of the line has been
re-created using one authentic, (although rebuilt) PE car, and 2 replica
PE cars. Service ended several years ago, and portions of the track
are gone. The cars are stored with their fate unknown.
