Santa Ana (Pacific Electric)

Santa Ana was a route of the Pacific Electric Railway, constructed in 1905 and bought by Pacific Electric in 1911, running from the Pacific Electric Building in Los Angeles to the Southern Pacific depot in Santa Ana, California. Santa Ana's location as the premier city of Orange County allowed the route to be the most heavily trafficked in the region by far. By 1950, service had halved from its peak only five years earlier and cut back to a minor station in Bellflower. This service was appropriated by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority in 1958, the same year it was discontinued.
