Are you a time traveler visiting 1940s LA? Hop aboard a Pacific Electric red car for a mid-day cruise across town. Not sure where this is, but I’ve seen photos of train 1529 servicing the Long Beach Line which ran between Long Beach and DTLA with stops in Dominguez Hill, Compton, Watts, & Florence-Graham along the way. Really love what the fading has done to the color in this footage. ** update: given the LAMTA emblem on the car, this would have been between 1958 and 1961 — Footage via Periscope
