The Pacific Electric Railway operated its famous Red Cars on interurban and streetcar routes throughout the Los Angeles area. I am happy to see that they advertised the Mount Lowe Excursion in The California Eagle, an African-American owned newspaper.
The Mount Lowe Excursion included a ride to Rubio Canyon at the foot of Echo Mountain. Passengers transferred to the great incline, which climbed 3,000 feet to the summit. At the summit, they could ride a narrow gauge scenic electric railway and see some spectacular sights.
The Mission Play at Mission San Gabriel Arcángel told the history of the missions.
