Streetcars in Los Angeles

Angel's Flight should not be confused as a cable car because it is a funicular railway operating from Broadway up Bunker Hill.

This system operated with narrow gauge tracks and primarily provided local service along its lines.

In 1902, Huntington and banker Isaias W. Hellman established the Pacific Electric Railway, which would acquire other railways, providing interurban service to new suburban developments and surrounding towns in what is now Greater Los Angeles (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino County and Riverside Counties).

[4] Elements of the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit are loosely based on the closure and dismantling of Los Angeles' electric streetcars.

Partially rebuilt on former Pacific Electric corridors, the new rail lines differ from the last generation of services by operating almost entirely in a dedicated right of way without interference from cars.
