I remember the last of the electric street cars from my early childhood in Los Angeles. In those days, you could still drive down some downtown LA streets and see the criss-cross of power lines overhead, and lots of the streets had train tracks for the street cars embedded in the pavement.

There are some old streets here and there where you can still find the old tracks in the street. They’re a bit like an archaeological relic nowadays.

I also remember my mom being furious that the streetcar system was being dismantled. I don’t know how she knew it, but she was aware that the car companies were to blame for it.

Here is a picture of the street cars of my childhood. Not sure what line or anything, but that is how they looked.

That might be near Angel's Flight, but I am not familiar with that area.

Back in 1972, I was driving in downtown Tulsa with my mother-in-law. I showed here where there was street work going on and in the holes dug you could see the old wooden ties the rails for their street cars had set on. They had all been paved over many years before. She remembered when they were in service.
