The LA&SDBRy ran between Old Town San Diego and La Jolla until 1914:

Train looks like an early attempt at streamlining. To quote Mr. Spock, "fascinating". The Ramona story was complete fiction, wasn't it (book by Helen Hunt Jackson), or was it based on a true story? I guess I can go to Wikipedia to find out. And while we discuss famous lovers, was there actually a Romeo & Juliet? I kind of want to say yes, since you can visit their houses in Verona. But cynics would say these are made up tourist bait. I live fairly close to Rancho Gaujome. In the book I believe Ramona's love lived about 30 miles away in Temecula. To further confuse matters, the annual Ramona Pageant is many miles north in Hemet but closed due to covid.
