The trip starts downtown at MTA building and follows near or along old Pacific Electric Red Car paths... Tour guides include a raconteur, Ralph Cantos, who rode the Red Car on its final, sad night decades ago.... During the ride, "Then" photos will be displayed on the tour bus' video monitor... The $25 ticket also includes a coy of the book, "Destinations: How trolleys and postcards helped create the Southern California dream, 1898-1950."
