I recently came across an L.A. Times newspaper article dated April 1, 1963, that was reporting on the last evening of streetcars operating on the MTA. The article reports on two MTA streetcar motorman by name. One of those motorman was named Dewey Berri, 63, who was the oldest motorman on the system at the time this story was made, Dewey’s carrier started in 1918 and he went on to drive buses after the end of streetcar service. Could this be a photo of Dewey Berri?
