More about the book
The Pacific Electric Railway, established in 1901 and operational until 1965, was a key player in connecting Southern California communities around Los Angeles through interurban rail lines. Prominently associated with Henry Edwards Huntington, the railway expanded under his ownership before being sold to Southern Pacific Railroad in 1910. This led to the "Great Merger," which integrated numerous electric lines in the region into a revitalized Pacific Electric. Renowned as the "World's Great Interurban," it played a significant role in the area's transportation history.
