Dual Gauge Track

The combined tracks for the streetcars on this street served two separate systems. The narrow gauge rails were 3' 6" for the Los Angeles Railway city "Yellow" cars, and the standard gauge tracks were 4' 8 1/2" for the Pacific Electric Railway, which ran the "Big Red" cars on an extensive interurban system. This image shows both systems' cars running together on dual gauge tracks.
