Photo: Ayers Family Archive, circa 1940s. (Click on photo to enlarge.)It's hard to believe the Allesandro Cut was such a narrow passage for the Pacific Electric Red Car Trolleys when compared to the 2 Freeway today.

Red Car Historian Paul Ayers, who shared some of his family archive with us, will present a free program, open to the public, featuring hundreds of slides of the Pacific Electric Glendale Line from Downtown Los Angeles to Glendale Thursday, May 12, 2011 for the Glendale Historical Society.
