PE Trolley #717 - Pacific Electric |
| Description: |
Pacific Electric’s famed 600 class “Hollywood” cars (600-759) were the most common and popular cars on the PE system. Pacific Electric (PE) Trolley #717 is an authentic 1925 "Hollywood" car built by J.G. Brill Co. for the Pacific Electric Railway. After decades of service in Southern California, it was retired in 1959, acquired by the Orange Empire Railway Museum (now Southern California Railway Museum), and restored to running condition, where it remains in operation. It underwent major mechanical repairs and a full restoration in the late 1990s, often appearing in its 1920s red paint scheme with orange "butterfly wing" stripes. One unusual note - the number 717 also refers to the opening date of Disneyland: July 17, 1955, a significant date in Los Angeles! |
