Very nice effort!

A rather cursory perusal of the map, however, discovered an error at Magnolia Ave. and the LA&SL railroad line in Riverside.  The interurban line is shown (with a red line) as if it curved a bit to go under the LA&SL NEW underpass bridge.

The PE line actually went straight, as Magnolia Ave. once did, and crossed the LA&SL at grade up until a few years ago

Thankyou for the link.  A lot of  photos of the sights of the LA region and history on his blog.  

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Someone recently created a very comprehensive interactive Google map of Southern California's Pacific Electric Railway, and also included photos and locations of its remaining infrastructure, stations, track and cars.

You can view the map here:
