Description
Today's Thing a Day was actually started yesterday, as the original plan was to go down to the Orange Empire Railroad Museum and finally apply to be a volunteer there for the Grizzly Flats Barn. However, So-Cal seemed to have come down with the Storm of the Century, so I assumed Perris had washed out and instead went to go hang out in Oceanside with Alex Lewis. As it turns out Perris was dry, so I'm gonna try again this coming weekend to do it. In any case, have a Blimp and enjoy!Related content

Excellent! These are easily my favorite PE cars. Although the Hollywood cars come close.

Electric Pullmans tended to be very posh. There were two in Ohio with brass bells too.

San Francisco has operating cable cars, dunno if they're Pullmans however.

Funicular's a different beast altogether, Daylight was all standard gauge heavy rail.

Cable cars are about as comparable to electric MUs as a funicular railway would be to a regular train.
