A Pacific Electric car destined for oblivion awaits its final run on the Glendale-Burbank line, June, 19 1955This is a bit of a sad sight to see: a Pacific Electric streetcar on the Glendale-Burbank line prepares for its final run on June, 19 1955. You may have gone to oblivion but more than sixty years later, we haven’t forgotten you!
