We here have mostly seen photos of L.A.'s streetcars taken long ago (with most photos being in black and white.) We haven't seen many high quality pics taken of well preserved L.A. streetcars.

I happened to stumble across this gallery of photos of well preserved L.A. streetcars taken at the Orange Empire Railroad Museum last year.

The PE along with the SP daylight trains I feel are some of the best paint jobs on any rail line. ever.

^ I hope they bring back the Red Cars/LARYs to Downtown LA. A route that ties together South Park thru the Historic Core to the Civic Center - and possibly Union Station.

Yes this would be nice, especially via Broadway.
