The Pacific Electric Legacy

What remains of the Pacific Electric railway legacy in Los Angeles transportation

The Legacy

The Pacific Electric railway -- the Red Car system that connected the Los Angeles metropolitan area with over 1,100 miles of track at its peak in 1925 and that was dismantled by 1961 -- is the specific Los Angeles transportation history that the accountability journalism of the contemporary transit system invokes when the question of what might have been is the accountability journalism of the specific policy decisions that produced what is.

The Contemporary Relevance

The contemporary relevance: the specific right-of-way corridors that the Pacific Electric once occupied have been partially reclaimed for the current Metro rail system. The specific alignment that the Expo Line follows through Santa Monica was the Pacific Electric right-of-way. The specific alignment that the light rail in other corridors follows reflects the specific Pacific Electric geography.
