Monrovia-Glendora was a route on the Pacific Electric Railway until 1951, serving the San Gabriel Valley.

It ran from 1902 to 1951, supporting real estate development in the valley.

Route

The Monrovia-Glendora route ran from the 6th & Main Terminal in Downtown Los Angeles — through:

  • San Marino,
  • Arcadia,
  • Monrovia
  • Azusa
  • to Glendora.

  • A long section of the route was along present-day Huntington Drive. The Arcadia train station was the route's San Gabriel Valley transfer point for Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway passenger trains.
