Pacific Electric Officer’s Car

As Southern California takes a break from heavy rain/snow, Southern California Railroad Museum held its annual Railroad Swap Meet. Also on this day, the museum held an event known as Pacific Electric Day. The star for the event was the freshly repaired Pacific Electric Officer Car #1299. Unfortunately during a test run on the main line, one of 1299's air compressor failed bringing the car to a stop. Crew try to repair the car but was not successful. United States Air Force engine #1601 (OERX 1601) was dispatch to rescue 1299. 1299 was towed to a side track and was setup for visitors to climb and see the inside. As for operations for Pacific Electric Day, Hollywood Car #717 and Birney Safety Car #332 (currently painted as Tucson Rapid Transit 10) were dispatch for the main line. In this video, the towing movement and the inside look of 1299. As always sorry for the shakiness. Enjoy!
