Last spring a Pacific Electric Crossbucks at Orange Empire Ry Museum had a limited lifetime. With repair, green wood preservative, and liberal amounts of paint, I hope I gave it another 50 years. (Pix 3)

Sorry about the picture numbering. Uploading more than one results in reverse order.

And today, Jan. 16, 1932, they ran a PE car on the trolley loop. The sun was out.
