Album Info:Here are some more photos that were taken way back in 2013 when we visited the Orange Empire RR Museum (now called the Southern California Rwy Museum). Just found these photos while searching for some missing photos. We took these photos of Pacific Electric interurban #418 on a tourist ride that day.

PE Interurban #418 - Pacific Electric
Title:  PE Interurban #418 - Pacific Electric
Description:  Pacific Electric (PE) Interurban #418, popularly known as a "Blimp," was built by the Pullman Company in 1923 for the Southern Pacific. Later acquired by the Pacific Electric Railway, it served as a high-capacity interurban car. It worked until 1961, when the last PE Red Car route between Los Angeles and Long Beach was closed. Railfans and crews dubbed these cars "Blimps" due to their massive size and rounded appearance compared to earlier wooden cars. Love the porthole windows in front - reminds me of the portholes in PRR cabooses and several EMD diesel units througn the years.
