Sherman was a suburban line of the Pacific Electric Railway, originally built in 1896 as part of the Pasadena and Pacific. Pasadena and Pacific became part of the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad. The line ran between Downtown Los Angeles and the suburb of Sherman (present-day) West Hollywood. The line is named after Moses Sherman, who built the line and built Sherman street car yard on the line in West LA. The large 5.56 acre, rail facility was on Santa Monica Boulevard just West of La Cienega Boulevard. The yard had a steam power house, a car barn and a shop building. Pacific Electric moved the yard works to 7th & Central in LA. In the 1930 buses started to run from the depot there also. The lines was discontinued on September 25, 1954. In 1974 all the rail buildings were taking down for development.
