Description
Image shows Harry Phillips Junior standing next to the Pacific Electric Railway trolley car number 835, from the 800 class of Southern California's first high speed interurban passenger coaches. The car was constructed by the Los Angeles & Redondo Railway and ran on the "Redondo via Gardena" line, which operated from 1911-1940. One of two Pacific Electric interurban lines serving the city of Redondo Beach, the one-hour trolley ride originated from 6th and Main streets in Los Angeles, traveled through Watts and Gardena's Strawberry Park, and terminated at Clifton (later known as Hollywood Riviera.) Harry Phillips Jr. (1889-1980) was the second son of Harry F. Phillips (b. 1867) Senior.
