The gauge is 30" built by BLW 7/1927. It has 28" drivers and 8-1/2 x 12 cylinders.
Phil Goldman also obtained a 42" gauge streetcar #19 from Kyoto. Story is that he had expressed interest in a car while stationed in Japan with the Army during the 1950s. He left the Army and did not really think of the car until he received a letter saying that the car was his and on its way to him. In time he gave this street car to Orange Empire Railway Museum which has a operating 42" electric line for the Los Angeles Railway cars.
