PE 316 fantrip Torrance 07-26-53
Robert Petersen made a duplicate slide for me of this gem he took of Pacific Electric "Blimp" 316 on a fantrip in Torrance CA, 07-26-53. Amazingly in 2022, the bridge is still there and there is still rail service on the street level track in the middle of Torrance Blvd. The line on the bridge was a spur to a local steel industry that is long since gone (the fantrip of course had to operate on the freight-only spur!)
