Los Angeles Railway Car 665 - Los Angeles Railway Car #665 represents the Los Angeles Railway's largest class of streetcars, the Type B or "Huntington Standard". Designed by the L.A. Railway in 1902, this class of wood-bodied city cars bore the name of the system's owner, Henry E. Huntington (of Huntington Library, Beach and Drive fame). This was the type of car that Los Angeles grew up with; at one time there were 747 of them roaming the streets of L.A. - retired in 1948. (Information from OERM Web Site) A special thanks to Steve Crise for his time, expertise and the use of his equipment, without which this image would have looked very different. This is the photo that was being staged in this shot on Rail Pictures.
From the vineyards of Napa Valley to the canyons of the Coastal Range to famed theme parks like Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm, California's tourist railroads and museums offers a wide variety of experiences for the rail enthusiast.
Taking a look at the same train and scene as captured by different photographers. The best way to view will be to sort by photo date so the photos are grouped together.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
