PASSENGER CAR PHOTO INDEX - PACIFIC ELECTRIC I

This website was created from a copy of passcarphotos.info which was originally saved on April 26, 2018. The website was originally created and managed by J.M. LaBODA who passed away in early 2018. When his website disappeared this copy was erected to keep the massive amount of information he collected available to all. We are also working to recover his other two websites: interurbancarphotos.info and pcccarphotos.info

Due to many of the photographs linking to external websites, not all of the links will continue to work as time goes on. A full offline copy of this website can be downloaded here: passcarphotos.zip

PASSENGER CAR PHOTO INDEX - PACIFIC ELECTRIC I

PACIFIC ELECTRIC 300 - 1147

UPDATED WITH 3 NEW LINK ADDED.
On this page you will find listings for the Pacific Electric. The listings formerly on this page for Interurban Electric Rwy., L.A. Metrolpolitan Transit Authority, Northwestern Pacific, and the Southern Pacific's East Bay Electric Lines, which was renamed IER in 1938, have been moved to part two of these listings. Many of the cars operated by the other S.P. lines to PE P.E. cars as the other lines ended electric service. These lines are presented here on this page so as to make cross-referencing easy to do.

It is not my intention to cover all the cars used by these operations, since trolleys and street cars are outside of the scope of the Index. The rather, coverage here involves cars built to steam railroad standards, also known as heavy interurban cars, similar to those used by the Chicago South Shore & South Bend. A few additional series of cars will be added in as I have time but such likely won't be listed until I do another update.

I cannot promise you that all links will remain working since I have no control over this. To contact me my email address is jmlaboda[at]passcarphotos.info.

Recommended sites:
The Pacific Electric Railway Historical Society is committed to preserving the rich history of the P.E. Among the features of the site is a huge archive of photos from all over the P.E. system, as well as coverage for the Los Angeles Rwy. This is a great site well worth taking time to visit!!!
The Metro Library & Archives at Flickr holds a very large archive of pictures, of Pacific Electric and Metropolitan Transit Authority image. This archive includes depots, locomotives and other equipment, and even P.E. busses. A great site overall.
Don Ross' Pacific Electric page features a number of P.E. class cars, locomotives and maintenance of way equipment.
The Orange Empire Railroad Museum has a collection of surviving cars that are representative of some of the Pacific Electric's equipment. The museum is a great place to visit, with cars from several operations being featured on the active line that the museum maintains.
The Pacific Electric Railway list at Yahoo! Groups is a great source for information dealing with both the prototype and the modeling of the line.
The Espee list, in a minor way, covers the Interurban Electric Rwy., Northwestern Pacific and the Pacific Electric, and is a great source for Southern Pacific information. I highly recommend the list.
