The line was rebuilt as standard gauge in 1903 after it was acquired by Pacific Electric the previous year, [2] though construction of the Pasadena Short Line relegated the South Pasadena Local to a secondary status. [3] Supplemental service on the north end of the line was provided by the Mission and Fair Oaks Avenue Local Line until 1911.
The line followed the Monrovia–Glendora Line to the end of the quadruple-track system at El Molino Junction. From that point (at Huntington Drive between Oak Knoll Avenue and Chelsea Road), two tracks turned north on private right of way, crossing Monterey Road and Old Mill Road before turning west toward the Huntington Hotel.
The Pacific Electric traction substation was built in 1905. In addition to providing power to the PE lines, it also powered the Mount Lowe Railway. [1] In 1941, when PE sold its Pasadena area lines to Pasadena City Lines, a subsidiary of National City Lines, the substation was included in the sale. [2]
