Here’s a piece of history in the making. We’re looking at a Pacific Electric red car on final day of service on the Glendale-Burbank line, June 1955. This is Brand Boulevard at Broadway in Glendale, and I’d imagine that these people climbing on board were well aware that this was the end of the service. According to one site I read, there was a great outcry from the public about halting the route, but The Powers That Be went ahead and abandoned it away. (Gone too are the newspaper sellers on street corners. We don’t see them anymore, do we?)
