The Ocean Beach Historical Society’s President Eric DuVall presented “Trolley to the Beach” online film at the Jan. 17, 2019 OBHS program.
Eric DuVall and Kitty’s drive show an updated version a portion from the of the film of the “OB Loop of PL Railroads-Directors Cut,” electric streetcar service route/now current day roads that allowed people to live at the beach—specifically Ocean Beach, Point Loma. The route was built by D. C. Collier and John D. Spreckels by the Point Loma Railroad and The San Diego Electric Railway that covered an approximately 50-year period from the 1890s through the 1940s.
