I found this unique and very historic photo from Southern California at My Link page "Northern California Bus Fans", located to the right of Your computer screen at www.norcalbusfans.com

The Pacific Electric, was a major electric powered interurban / commuter railroad that operated out of the city of Los Angeles California, from the early 1900's until 1961.

Aside from their already famous and popular electric interurban trains, the Pacific Electric also augmented their operations with a fleet of transit buses. These buses provided local service around the Los Angeles area, and served the Pacific Electric quiete well.

Seen here in the foreground, is a late 1940's era propane powered transit bus, manufactured by the Twin Coach Company of Kent Ohio. Many citties in North America, utilized these propane powered buses during the 1950's and 60's era. The buses inthe background, are standard General Motors 40 foot TDH Series "Old Look" (Pre 1959) transit buses. Many transit agencies in North America, operated the old look GM's until the early to mid 1970's.
