Wrong Fair

Back in 2019, I posted here that Los Angeles Transit Lines 1435 - or, at least, its body - had been sold by the Southern California Railway Museum to the Riverside County Fairgrounds in Indio. Except, it turns out that I had the wrong fairgrounds - and the wrong Riverside County Fairgrounds, no less. The new Riverside County Fairgrounds is in Indio, but the old Riverside County Fairgrounds was in Perris, just a couple of miles from SCRM. After the fair moved to Indio, I guess, it changed its name to the Southern California Fairgrounds. And sure, enough, there's the car on Google Maps in an image captured in 2022. Car 1435's history has been corrected.

  1. Is this the same car? It's location is different than the fairgrounds. https://offerup.com/item/detail/c2b2b4c7-90c8-3ca4-848c-5d5ad6624602?fbclid=IwAR1w8cFe1AyklGOMdPjDnY9CSLvtbQK1QXDgWXQe2Kyy3gNKhve9ALrBEUs&_branch_match_id=1198065342400203000&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz09LSy0qLdBLztd3zQ4MLvYIDrJ0TrJPS0rOyUyx9Sx3DDIst0h2SzV0rMzOcff3TQnIcsmLtHQO9ikrSQr0NgyMcEkPjwhMNfKurDRO9%2FPOKEu1dPQpcnINLQYAkrNm0GMAAAA%3D
