Pacific Electric Cars: A Pictorial Journey 1911-1953
Seller: Arizona Hobbies LLC, Tucson, AZ, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Southern Californias history and economic development were closely aligned with the Pacific Electric Railway, organized 1901-1902 by Henry Huntington and carried on by a new corporation after 1911 of the same name, owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad. This book addresses the period from 1911 to 1953 of the "new" Pacific Electric Railway that operated electric-powered passenger and freight trains in southern California. The co-authors had access to extensive photograph files illustrating Pacific Electric cars and their operating environment and selected the best for use in this book. Two major goals of this book is to illustrate all of the major classes of cars and locomotives operated by the Pacific Electric after 1911 and to provide detailed, informative picture captions that can both stand on their own and also provide the seeds for future research.
