1933, 5:54pm, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Long Beach. Imagine what the result of that catastrophe would be today in LA rush hour?

Streetcars, were good for more than just public transportation... did you know they were used to plow snow along their route?

I like that many were made into little diners. See the inside of one at the Henry Ford museum https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghAUN0hUNbtCklDof7_dyUiBYmyGN56hhmkfbDEU_9SYlkZXgJNyxT72OvnstMiQiECFHKZVEuFDlwML8XRyhaWFRAKeT-ItFshLYTR13PJHl2XbRKwolTQSqGx83-LKgdANo-wH8D8OI/s1600/Henry%2520Ford%2520Diner%5B1%5D.jpg it is the nicest I've seen, most are far more simple and less ornamental
