In advertisements, Pacific Electric bragged about being the "World's greatest electric railway system" and boasted 2,700 scheduled trains daily and more than one million miles of tracks during the height of its time.
More than a million* miles of track? Man, that WAS a large interurban system!


*Journalism is dead.
