Bring Red Car history to the next picnic, barbecue, or railway-themed gathering. Pacific Electric connected Los Angeles with communities across Southern California, from coastal destinations to inland cities, as the region grew around its interurban lines. This can cooler nods to that era of electric rail travel and the changing fortunes of the railway. It makes a relaxed conversation starter for collectors, local history fans, and anyone with a fondness for Southern California heritage.
Organized in 1901 by Henry E. Huntington and banker Isaias W. Hellman, the Pacific Electric Railway Company grew from earlier Los Angeles electric railways into a Southern California network known as the Red Cars. Its first main project, the Los Angeles to Long Beach line, opened July 4, 1902. Lines connected Los Angeles with communities across Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, serving destinations including Pasadena, Santa Monica, Redlands and Newport Beach. In the September 1, 1911 Great Merger, Southern Pacific brought several electric railway operations together under a new Pacific Electric Railway Company. At its height, the system operated more than 2,000 daily trains over 1,000 miles of track. Passenger service declined as routes were replaced by buses; remaining passenger operations were sold to Metropolitan Coach Lines in 1953. The Los Angeles to Long Beach line, the first and last interurban passenger route of the former system, ended service April 9, 1961. Southern Pacific absorbed Pacific Electric in 1965, while former right-of-way later supported the Metro Blue Line, which opened in 1990.
