Gas prices here are out of sight and now at $2.23 for reg. !!!!!   cheers rogertrolley      I finally got to San Pedro to see the Red Car operation there with two replica PE 500 class cars and the real PE 1057 rebuilt out of a ten and nine hundred class car. Richard Fellows boatyard was next to Terminal Island where hundreds of PE cars were scrapped. He suceeded in dragging 2 hulks over to his yard and spliced them together to create the #1057, which was one number higher than the PE tens went. A great operation of only 1 3\4 miles long. Operates friday thru monday 8am to 6pm.  A great ride with a passing track in middle. Also rode the New Pasadena Gold line. A truley funky operation of a lite rail line on all kinds of right-of-way. Center of freeway ,tunnel, P-R-W, middle of a street at 20mph and numerous road crossings where several collisions and near misses!
>  have ocurred with brain dead drivers, plus elevated concrete structures and finally ending at LA UNION STA. where in order to get to downtown ,the Red Line heavy rail is taken three stations !!!!  $3 all day pass gets you anywhere you want to go. Only parking is at Pasadena end at Sierra Madre Sta. where a free parking garage is located beside the I-210.
