Trolley Tuesday 3/29/21 - Los Angeles Railway's Maintenance-of-Way Equipment

Welcome to the last Trolley Tuesday post of March! Over the past month, we've seen the history and evolution of the Los Angeles Railway (LARy) and its yellow cars, from the charming antiquity of the Type "B" Huntington Standards to the ultra-modern Type "P" PCCs that closed out another of America's greatest and most iconic street railways. The LARy couldn't have lasted as long as it did, though, without the help of a dedicated fleet of "maintenance of way" (MOW) cars that kept the wires, rails, and rolling stock happy until the final days under the LAMTA. Much like the Pacific Electric's own fleet, LARy's were all shop-built and recycled from older streetcars, so let's not waste any time and get to appreciating all of these varied cars on this, the final Trolley Tuesday of March!
