Now for some red car sadness:
A small number of the retired red cars were sold to other cities around the world that still had the foresight to realize the ongoing need for electric transit. The vast majority, however, were stripped of anything that could float and then dropped into the ocean to serve as foundations for coral reefs.
Grrrr

The Hollywood cars are my favorite Red Cars. Happily, 2 of them (637 and 717) are preserved at the
Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris. 717 is in running condition, I think they are trying to restore 637 to run (if they haven't already done so, I haven't been to OERM in 15 years).
