But of course the Gold Line is in its own right of way, for the most part.

However, on a PE car line where they rails share street traffic, I don't know that a train would be allowed to go against traffic....

If you look carefully you will see three sets of trolley tracks. The track that the birney car is on is the local line track. The two tracks in front are for the main lines going to and from Los Angeles and Venice Beach.
