Summer in Southern California. I first noticed this because the Southern Pacific offered to take people to see the "Live Alligator in Santa Monica." "Now is the time that the fish bite."
The Los Angeles Terminal Railway was a short line between Altadena and Pasadena. The line was abandoned in 1921.
I have never been to Catalina.
At Mountain Junction in Altadena, the Mount Lowe Railroad connected with the Los Angeles Terminal Railway. The Mount Lowe Excursion included a ride to Rubio Canyon at the foot of Echo Mountain. Passengers transferred to the great incline, which climbed 3,000 feet to the summit. At the summit, they could ride a narrow gauge scenic electric railway and see some spectacular sights. The Mount Lowe Railroad was eventually taken over by the Pacific Electric Railway.
The Wilshire Ostrich Farm was a popular destination.
