MTA 1543 at Los Cerritos

Towards the end of service on the Long Beach line, car 1543 was refurbished by the MTA and repainted green to match the MTA’s standard equipment color. It saw frequent use in regular trains as well as on occasional fan trips. The car is now at Travel Town in Los Angeles. During an October 1960 fan trip the car pauses northbound at Los Cerritos for a photo shoot in the afternoon sun. As the interurban era came to an end, it was always nice to see this car, old as it was, looking so fresh.
