Hi All,
In Southern California there is OERM, the Orange Empire RR Museum. This museum has an excellent collection of streetcars, including the narrow gauge LARY streetcars. You can also find some Big Reds, the old Pacific Electric cars. You will also find a large loop of track and get to ride some of the old Huntington cars, Big Red Cars, and the old PCC's. On display is also an old trolley, streetcar, from Japan. Fares for riding these fine old streetcars are quite reasonable.
For the curious, there is also on display, a trolley hearse. Yup, in those days the trolley lines would take you right into the cemetery. There is a place for the casket, and honored guests, and the trolley would take these people and dear departed to the final resting place. Quite a sight.
