: I AM HOPING SOMEONE CAN HELP ME . I'M
: LOOKING
: FOR OLD P.E. RAILROAD TRACKS STILL VISIBLE
: THROUGHOUT THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA. IS
: THERE A GUIDEBOOK OR MAPS THAT CAN HELP ME
: LOCATE THESE TRACKS ? THE OLDER THE LOCATION
: THE BETTER.
:
: Unfortunately, there are not many locations
: where PE tracks are still visible. There
: are still some of the old stations around
: but even they are few and far between. Some
: books that might prove helpful in your
: search would be: Stations of the Pacific
: Electric and one by Spencer Crump entitled
: Ride the Big Red Cars. The nice thing about
: the latter is that, in some editions, he
: lists in the appendix where all the lines
: ran. That might be a good place to start.
: I do know that in Santa Ana they have
: preserved part of the right of way complet
: with tracks. Hope this helps. Good luck in
: your hunt.
