| musictom SUBS 2nd Aug 2021 | My copy is first edition (also personally autographed by the author). Also my copy does not have the price and ISBN number on the back at bottom. Mine has a price of $27.50 on the inside flap of the front cover. WPLives: Does your copy have the Special Number, 43, on the spine? Mine does not. | |
| WPLives 2nd Aug 2021 | BACK COVER (TOP): A later car type was the H-4. Hundreds of these steel cars (and homemade wooden copies) came on stream [sic] in the 1920s as LARY modernized. Here H-4 "N" car 1202 rounds the corner at First & Main to jog west to Spring St. en route to its 9th & Western terminal. At right are PCC streamliners on the P line. Car 1202 was already in Los Angeles Transit Lines "fruit salad" livery but hadn't yet lost its "old-fashioned" eclipse fenders. It was a time of change. (BOTTOM): LARY was a system where the old and the new could co-exist side by side. For several years, a downtown passenger destined for Points along Gage Ave. started his journey on the ultra-modern PCC car of the "P" line, but after reaching the loop at Dozier & Rowan in East Los Angeles, he transferred to the bouncy little Birney car like the 1026 shown here. This photo was taken sometime during World War II. LARY's small fleet of single-truckers did not bow out until the post-war years when new owners had taken over the system. All: Bob Mcvay | |
| WPLives 1st Aug 2021 | COVER PHOTO: Abslutely Nothing typified Los Angeles Railway like the Huntington Standard streetcar. The famous five-window front stamped Henry Huntington's name all over the system, even decades after the old gentleman's passing. It was the summer of 1947 that car 302 trundled along Central Avenue near 43rd Street. The U line was about to be abandoned (double wires for the replacement trolleybuses are visible) and the system was about to undergo a wrenching series of changes. But the Huntington Standard streetcar still had a few years left to run in the City of Angels. | |
