For more than half a century, the Pacific Electric Railway served Southern California. Established by Henry Huntington in 1895, the system linked Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties with over 1,000 miles of service and up to 2,700 scheduled trolleys daily. Although the trolleys were painted different colors through the years, the most famous and symbolic were the Big Red Cars. The electric trolley system carried commuters and sightseers through Southern California cities, fruit groves, beach areas, ranchland, and the Spanish Missions. The Santa Ana line, operating from 1905 to 1950, was part of the vast Pacific Electric system and traversed central Orange County from the Los Angeles County line to Santa Ana, passing through La Palma, Cypress, Buena Park, Anaheim, Stanton, Garden Grove, and Santa Ana.
