However, the Electric Railway Historical Association of Southern California has for well over forty years covered the history and operation of electric lines, predominantly in South California, and their site contains much information about SP electric operations. The museum is located just south of the city of Perris, CA, a short distance west of I-215. It is open every weekend and rides are offered on PE, LARy, and other equipment as available.
Publication is informative but occasional.
There was a time, long ago, when there would have been no need for two organizations. Then, the governmental wisdom of the day saw to it that the SP and the UP went their separate ways. Many SP operations were intimately tied to UP operations, even after the Harriman divestiture, and the story of these operations, both passenger and freight, make interesting reading. Now, history seems to be coming full circle. There are, however, no plans to merge the two societies.
