| Along the Line ....... Page 2. |
| Venerable Wire Greaser 00150 making her rounds over this portion of the line. Unlike other electric lines that used carbon inserts in their trolley shoes, the PE did not. This necessitated the use of the 00150 and her sisters to keep the overhead lubricated by means of a graphite stick, which was applied to the wire by the second pole. |
| The PE had other "Greasers", but 00150 was definitely one-of-a-kind! |
| PE Freight Locomotive 1623 pulls PE Boxcar 2708 past La Verne Station. By pure coincidence this is the same car that had been handled by Express Motor 1451 some time earlier! 1623 is still in the old "Crimson" paint scheme. |

| Several years ealier, our photographer was taking some early pictures in the same locale. It was pure luck that allowed us to see "Hollywood" car 623 in its original livery with Eclipse Fenders in place. It was a hot summer's day, so the few patrons aboard were dozing with the shades drawn. |
