Cool photo of the old Pacific Electric passing Echo Park while southbound on Glendale Boulevard. It will be interesting to see if Glendale Boulevard ever sees rail transit again — there’s nothing solid on the books for now.

  1. You can thank GM, Firestone and the old Standard Oil company for the disappearance of the light rail system that criss-crossed the Los Angeles basin from the old days.

    The whole back story of Who Framed Roger Rabbit was about this.

  2. I’d love to see a Metro light rail line revived here to replace the 92 bus from Downtown to Burbank. Maybe this portion would have to be cut and cover, but a lot of the route could probably run at grade on the old PE route to save money (Sunset to the 2, the 5 to Brand, most of Glenoaks).
