Pacific Electric Railway logo (1911)

The Pacific Electric Railway Company, nicknamed the Red Cars, is a former, privately owned mass transit system in Southern California consisting of electrically powered streetcars, interurban cars, and buses and was the largest electric railway system in the world in the 1920s. Organized around the city centers of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, it connected cities in Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County.

The system shared dual gauge track with the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge Los Angeles Railway, "Yellow Cars," or "LARy" system on Main Street in downtown Los Angeles (directly in front of the 6th and Main terminal), on 4th Street, and along Hawthorne Boulevard south of downtown Los Angeles toward the cities of Hawthorne, Gardena, and Torrance.

History

Historical timeline

  • 1901: Interurban service from Los Angeles to Long Beach commences.
  • 1903: An industrial strike between Mexican tracklayers and their employers resulted in the Pacific Electric Railway strike of 1903. The strike continued for six days, with the Mexican workers demanding equal pay to their European counterparts doing the same work. The strike was organized by Union Federal Mexicanos, representing about 700 workers.
  • 1910: Henry Huntington sold interests of Pacific Electric to Southern Pacific Railroad, sparking consolidation of regional railways to Southern Pacific control. In exchange for selling his interests in Pacific Electric, Henry Huntington gained full (complete) control of Los Angeles local streetcar system, the Los Angeles Railway.
  • 1913: Fire destroyed the Sherman (West Hollywood) carhouse.
  • 1919: The 1919 Streetcar Strike of Los Angeles was a violent revolt to open shop policies of the Pacific Electric Railway. The strike resulted in a six-day breakout, before strikers were subdued by local armed police forces.
  • 1921: A sweeping fire consumed the Redondo carhouse.
  • 1961: The last interurban service from Los Angeles to Long Beach is replaced by motor coach route 39f.

Districts

The system had four districts:

  • Northern District: San Gabriel Valley, including Pasadena, Mount Lowe, South Pasadena, Alhambra, El Monte, Covina, Duarte, Glendora, Azusa, Sierra Madre, and Monrovia.
  • Eastern District: Pomona, San Bernardino, Arrowhead Springs, Riverside, Rialto and Redlands in the Inland Empire.
  • Southern District: Long Beach, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, San Pedro via Dominguez, Santa Ana, El Segundo, Redondo Beach via Gardena, and San Pedro Via Torrance.
  • Western District: Hollywood, Glendale/Burbank, San Fernando Valley, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Manhattan/Redondo/Hermosa Beaches, Venice, Playa Del Rey.

Car numbering scheme of 1911

Following the consolidation of numerous agencies into the Pacific Electric Railway fold, in 1911, many cars had repeated numbers, forcing the PE system to renumber received cars into a cohesive numbering scheme.

Although confusing at first glance, the PE renumbering scheme rationalized these cars into a simplified format, instead of a scheme encompassing hundreds of different types of cars.

  • Deluxe cars (01-025) were reserved for business cars, excursion cars, etc..
  • City cars (1-399) covered cars used in local service in cities, and Mt. Lowe.
  • Suburban cars (400-699) covered cars on lower-patronized interurban lines.
  • Interurban cars (700-1299) covered cars on higher-patronized interurban lines.
  • Combine cars (1300-1399) covered cars with passenger/baggage areas.
  • Box motor cars (1400-1499) covered cars with freight and RPO (Railway Post Office) capabilities.
  • Locomotives (1500-1599 and 1600-1699) covered locomotive cars.
  • Line/Maintenance cars (1700-1799)
  • Miscellaneous cars (1800-1899)
  • Wreckers (001-0010)
