PACIFIC ELECTRIC LIVES ON IN LONG BEACH
| In the summer of 1990, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (LAMTA) debuted their "new" Los Angeles-Long Beach light rail line. To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the rail line in July of 2000 the LAMTA painted two of their light rail cars in the Pacific Electric renowned 'Butterfly' red and orange paint scheme. It was done to honor the memory of the "World's Greatest Interurban Railway" that provided passenger rail service on the same route from 1903 until 1961. The cars remained in this distinctive livery for several years. Despite calls from large numbers of the public to paint the entire fleet in this heritage design, the LAMTA elected to return the vehicles to standard paint style. |
