TRACTION AROUND NORTH AMERICA
This car, Los Angeles Railway #3001, was Los Angeles' first PCC car.  Built by St. Louis in 1937, it was also the first narrow-gauge PCC, designed to operate on LARy's 3'6"-gauge track, and upon entering service was christened by Shirley Temple.  It operated until 1963, when it was acquired by the Orange Empire Railway Museum of Perris, California; it has been fully restored.
