Also, thanks to Rob Van Laun of San Diego for his kind corrections of my maps of the original San Diego streetcar network.



I am particularly thankful to the staff of the Document Archives at the San Diego History Center in beautiful Balboa Park, without whose helpful assistance in locating relevant maps and street guides I would not have been able to prepare this page.
