PACIFIC ELECTRIC ORANGE EMPIRE TROLLEY EXCURSION
The Orange Empire Trolley Excursion operated in Southern California from 1914 to 1929. The excursion ran from Los Angeles east to Rialto and Bloomington, and turned south to Riverside. After a stop at the Mission Inn, the excursion traveled north, and then turned east through the citrus groves into the San Bernardino Valley, and stopped at Redlands, where passengers could disembark and tour Smiley Heights.
The Orange Empire Trolley Excursion was largely responsible for the demise of the other local steam train excursions. The electric cars traveled through similar countryside and could operate more efficiently than their steam rivals. They were also more versatile since the cars could run on the city streets and bring passengers directly to many of the region’s best attractions.
