Old Pueblo Trolley #10 (PE Trolley #332) |
| Description: |
PE trolley #10 was originally built as a Birney style trolley Pacific Electric #332 by the J.G. Brill Company in 1918. Pacific Electric 332 spent most of its career in Redlands, until rail operations were replaced by buses in 1936. The car was later assigned to the local lines in Pasadena and retired in 1941 when the local lines were replaced bus service. Fortunately, MGM Studios bought four of them where they starred in such movies as “Singin’ in the Rain”. Cars 331 and 332 were purchased the the Orange Empire Trolley Museum from MGM in the 1960’s and brought to the museum in Perris, California. Car 332 was leased to the Old Pueblo Trolley in Tucson, Arizona in 1985. 332 was restored to full operation by the OPT staff and operated for the first time in 1991. During the restoration, 332 was painted into the former Tucson Rapid Transit cream and green paint scheme and renumbered car 10 to reflect one of the Birneys that ran in the 1920’s in Tucson. |
