This car, ex-Los Angeles Railway 3001, was Los Angeles first PCC car, seen here on August 7 2004. Built by St Louis Car in 1937, it was also the first narrow-gauge PCC, designed to operate on LARys 36-gauge track, and upon entering service was christened by Shirley Temple. It operated until 1963, when it was acquired by OERM.
