I'm glad I took one last ride last weekend. I'm sad for the loss of the kinetic energy it brought, but I don't think I ever rode it a total of five times in its existence. And it's one of the few things I CAN ride in DCA.
For me, it was home to the wonderful Red Car Trolley News Boys show, which I still miss.
RIP Trolley!

The end of an era for DCA 2.0.

I'm a big Disneyland fan but I'm cringing at all the people following and stalking the final trolley car.

Have you ever been to a closing? It’s a pretty cool feeling to be with people that care about the parks so much.
Tonight - people will be doing all kinds of crazy things over a silly ball game.

Side-note / thought:
Back when the Irvine Spectrum Center was just a glint in Don Bren's eye, Edwards Theaters was planned to be the major anchor, with what was at the time to be one of if not the biggest complex of their empire. Mr. Edwards (aka the Old Man) really wanted to have some sort of train to circle the complex. Obviously he didn't get his wish.
It would be kind of cool if they were to repurpose these trolleys there (and maybe even add more to the fleet). It would add to the atmosphere, and be a fun, occasional use for many people. (It can be a bit of a hike from one end to the other.)

Not that I’d go and follow it myself, but I think it’s nice that so many people care about something.

Brings to mind that we have to trek to the Americana to get our trolley fix now.

It was weird and empty feeling yesterday without the trolley out. 
The only good part is if they fill in the tracks that can catch your ankles badly if you don't constantly watch where you're walking.

I wonder how much longer (the tracks) those will have left before they are ripped out. If HL goes away for Avatar, they'll probably start the process when Pandora breaks ground is my guess.It was weird and empty feeling yesterday without the trolley out.

Probably taken down to San Pedro and put in the giant pile of scrap metal with the rest of them. Freeways are the future!
