There was an early plan to extend the line to Downtown Pasadena by way of West California Boulevard (where a local line was already running). Connections between Los Angeles and Pasadena were limited by topography, and the three existing lines were all very heavily used.
History
Through service to Downtown Los Angeles was discontinued on May 5, 1911, and the line became a shuttle service between Avenue 64 and Annandale.[2] After November13, 1926, Pacific Electric records show that service north of Adelaide Place was abandoned, and any passenger service after was likely run to satisfy franchise requirements. The line north of the South Pasadena Local was formally abandoned on April3, 1928.[1]
