Back in 2004, I noticed something odd about a structure I saw alongside Sierra Highway (former US 6) in Soledad Pass just east of the summit. The building looked like an old gas station, possibly a Mobil Oil station, which made sense for the location. However, upon closer inspection, I saw something very unusual inside. The building was constructed around a former Los Angeles Railway streetcar, possibly a “Type-B Huntington Standard” car which was produced between 1902 to 1912. At the time, the building was slowly being torn down, so I made sure to get as many photos as possible. Little remains of the site today and it is not known where the car ended up or if it was dismantled at the time.
