  Visual Materials

  Los Angeles' streets were still dominated by the trolley car when Dave Redinger opened a private engineering practice early in 1914. This view of rush hour shows Los Angeles Railway trolley cars lined up on East Seventh Street, waiting their turn to cross the equally busy Main Street. All of these trolleys, and much of downtown Los Angeles, was receiving electricity from the new Big Creek power plants.
