Book excerpt: Tucked away in Southern California's San Gabriel Mountains, the Mount Lowe Railway was an internationally renowned tourist destination, serving nearly four million passengers between 1893 and 1936. Few riders of "The Railway to the Clouds" are around to relate their experiences now, but postcards and photographs remarkably reflect the history of this amazing attraction. Virtually nothing of the once-famous landmark remains on the mountain today, except a few timeworn foundations and part of the original right-of-way, which has become a hiking trail into the Angeles National Forest.

Download or read book Mount Lowe Railway written by Michael A. Patris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opened with great fanfare on July 4, 1893, the Mount Lowe Incline Railway was hailed as "Earth's Grandest Mountain Ride." Built by Civil War balloonist Thaddeus S. C. Lowe and railroad engineer David J. Macpherson in the mountains above Altadena and Pasadena in Los Angeles County, this funicular was operated for 43 years and served nearly four million passengers from around the world. Where else could one find four hotels, an observatory, the world's largest searchlight, a dance hall, miniature golf, a zoo, horseback riding, tennis, and snowcapped peaks, all within a day's journey from the Pacific Ocean and downtown Los Angeles? The San Gabriel Mountains continue to be a great natural resource and recreational escape for many Angelenos, but the spectacular railway lives on only in these vintage photographs.

Here are accounts of UFOs, accounts of odd animals seen at sea or on land, mysterious attacks by what appear to have been animals, mysterious appearances of things and people in places they could not be. Here Forts epic account of spontaneous combustion, lights in the sky, poltergeists, unseen. murderous wild animals, mysterious disappearances, manifestations of psychotic mania, speaking in tongues¾and, of course, the cow that gave birth to two lambs. All of this Fortean wonder is prefaced by a magnificent new introductory essay by Jack Womack, winner of the Philip K. Dick Award and lifetime Fortean.

Download or read book Trolley Days in Pasadena written by Charles Seims and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name Pasadena evoked images of wonder and excitement to millions of Americans living at the turn of the 20th century. At the end of a railroad journey through a thousand miles of desert lay the Crown City of California. Its great hotels were unsurpassed for their elegance and service. Driveways of palatial homes wound down to palm-lined streets filled with carriages and limousines. Pasadena was as close to paradise as America had to offer. Founded in 1874 by a small group of transplanted Indianans, Pasadena began as an agricultural center. But its refreshing climate and unique geography attracted a parade of visionaries and con artists who soon left their mark on the story of a budding city. After completion of the Santa Fe Railway's transcontinental link via Pasadena, the boom of the 1880s brought a rise in property values, and with it grandiose real estate and transportation schemes. Steam railways were built to provide direct rail service to downtown Los Angeles. Then came California's first electric interurban, with local lines replacing horsecar systems, and then Henry E. Huntington united the electric railways of Southern California to form his famous Pacific Electric Railway. Also presented is the story of the city itself, with its great hotels, homes, the Rose Parade, and life in the San Gabriel Valley.--From publisher description.
