El Paso City Lines
One of the last cities to convert to PCC was El Paso, TX. In 1950 and 1952 they purchased a group of PCCs from San Diego. This was more of a transfer since both properties, at that time, were part of National City Lines. Prior to the PCC purchase, the system had a fine collection of cars which showed the Stone & Webster influence. Cars were purchased new and imported from Houston and Fort Worth over the years.

Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.
— Pope St. John Paul II
