Los Angeles Railway Corporation (LARy) operated local streetcar transit from 1895 - 1945. Distinguished from the father reaching Pacific Electric Railway Company's streetcars by vehicle color, LARy was also known as the Yellow Cars of Los Angeles. During its operation, LARy expanded service by merging with the Main Street & Agricultural Park Street Railroad. Henry E. Huntington became owner of LARy in 1898, and the controlling interest remained part of the Huntington estate until 1945 when the Fitzgerald Brothers purchased those shares. LARy became part of the National City Lines, was renamed the Los Angeles Transit Lines, and eventually the streetcars were phased out, replaced by motor buses.
