OC Weekly, 6/18/19 (old post):
AN ORANGE COUNTY STREETCAR NAMED DISPLACEMENT
Twenty-five years ago, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) envisioned covering much of the county in a 90-mile spiderweb of light rail lines. That plan, known as CenterLine, was projected to cost a billion dollars. But it never really got beyond PowerPoint Presentations, and finally went away more than a decade ago.
Story here. The CenterLine concept, which was all it was, a concept, itself was a replacement for something called the Orange Line. This was before LACMTA color coded its abuilding transit lines. While the Orange Line name was eventually given to the busway in the San Fernando Valley, at one point the name Orange Line meant not only a color designation but the county it was to operate in.
