Although the Red Car still stands, the SB Historical Society pulled out and disappeared several months ago. The Red Car is no longer a museum, simply a historical site of interest. The website, etc, are no longer valid and taken down.
A trip to Seal Beach would not be complete without a visit to the Red Car on the old Pacific Electric Right of Way. Car No. 1734. This rare Pacific Electric tower car built in 1925 now serves as the historical site of interest. It was once a roving machine shop sent out to troubleshoot problems along the 40-mile Pacific Electric LA-Newport Line. A center tower was used for repairs and maintenance on the overhead lines. It operated for almost 50 years until 1950.
