Los Angeles Railway
3060 on Route V at Monroe & New Hampshire
This picture is after 1955, since before that time PCCs were not assigned to the V line.  It was after the May, 1955, abandonments that rail service reductions were substantial enough to allow for PCC-only operation of the remaining lines. Note that sign on the front of the car: "Take This Car to Bullocks Downtown."  This sign graced the PCCs for years (in fact, it is the only front advertising sign I really remember on the PCCs), but the V line was the only remaining line that did not go downtown.  It was the heaviest crosstown line, bus or rail, on the entire system.
