The body of this car outlasted the PE by many years–I have photos of it as a utility building in the SP yard at Bakersfield in 1971. This car and its mate, 1466 would go by my home in Monrovia around 3:30 pm every weekday. There was a bad spot in the trolley wire just west of 5th Ave.; cars with trolley wheels (instead of shoes) would hit this spot and draw a big arc–Zark!
