Do You Remember the Red Cars?
Maybe... So in 1911, the same year the City of Burbank incorporated, the Pacific Electric Railroad ‘Red Car’ began its Burbank to Los Angeles route using the motto, "Burbank – Just 45 minutes from Broadway" --- Broadway in Los Angeles, that is!

Wow. Do "I" remember these cars. Yipes. We used to head out to Glendale and L.A., all the time when we were kids. It took about 45 minutes from Burbank to Downtown L.A. It was great.
ReplyDeleteThe cars I rode on were like the one in this link.
