A Pacific Electric car on Santa Monica Blvd at Canon Dr in Beverly Hills, 1954.It’s hard to imagine this now, but a streetcar track ran down Santa Monica Boulevard. This is a red car (Pacific Electric) running along Santa Monica Boulevard where it meets Canon Drive in Beverly Hills in 1954. Gosh, how I’d love to be able to take one of these again . . . I could point at all those drivers stuck in traffic and laugh at them as I whizzed by.

  1. Our house was behind that large tree on the left. Those streetcars were my salvation. How truly sad that they stopped running soon after the end of WW II. Thank you so much Martin for showing this picture of days long gone.
