Pacific Electric lines emanating from Downtown Los Angeles, 1917. The following passenger rail lines were operated by the Pacific Electric Railway and its successors from the time of its merger in 1911 until the last line was abandoned in 1961. One count indicated that the company and its successors operated as many as 143 different routes in ...
Map of major Western North American power transmission paths A line on Path 65, part of the Pacific DC Intertie. The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) coordinates a number of high voltage power links in western North America. [1] [2] [3] These links, known as WECC Intertie Paths, are not necessarily single transmission line ...
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 required transmission line owners to allow electric generation companies open access to their network [3] [4] and led to a restructuring of how the electric industry operated in an effort to create competition in power generation. No longer were electric utilities built as vertical monopolies, where generation ...
Pacific Intertie transmission routes A dual-circuit 500 kV line forming a part of the connection between Path 66 and Path 15.. California Oregon Intertie (COI), identified as Path 66 by Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), is a corridor of three roughly parallel 500 kV alternating current power lines connecting the electric grids of Oregon and California.
In 1894, the Pasadena & Los Angeles Electric Railway purchased, re-gauged, electrified, and double-tracked a section of the line for streetcar use. [4] Service began on May 6, 1895. [5] Pacific Electric acquired the route in 1898. The line was again rebuilt to standard gauge with service between Pasadena and Los Angeles beginning in December 1902.

The Whittier Line was a Pacific Electric interurban line which traveled between Los Angeles and Whittier via Huntington Park, Rivera, and Los Nietos. [2] A branch of the company's original Long Beach Line , operations along the line began in 1903.
Interconnections can be tied to each other via high-voltage direct current power transmission lines such as the north-south Pacific DC Intertie, or with variable-frequency transformers (VFTs), which permit a controlled flow of energy while also functionally isolating the independent AC frequencies of each side.
