    The Pacific Electric's Glendale-Burbank Line would be a good interurban line for Train Sim World 2 and I want it to be set in the late 40s because the railroad which marked the beginning of decline of passenger service because people after WW2 could afford cars and this would be the first streetcar line for Train Sim World 2.
    The line would start at the Subway Terminal which was the railroad's second main street station just like their 6th & Main street station which was their headquarters, it had a mile long tunnel under Bunker Hill and it would then leave the Belmont Tunnel/Toluca Substation and Yard then onto 2nd Street and the Beverly Blvd viaduct.

    The line continues to west central, Pacific, Highland, Western, and Alameda Avenues to a terminal in Burbank at Cypress Avenue and on June 19, 1955 the subway terminal along with route would be shut down converted to buses.
    The PCC cars would be the first trolley to operate on this route.

    And also the famous Hollywood cars which ran all over the Pacific Electric system. upload_2022-7-5_12-35-0.png

    Reminds me of Disneyland (specifically, California Adventure Park)

    I agree with you except a lot smaller in length.

    That shocks me, as the park in Florida is bigger than the one in California.
