The Highland Line was a 6.56miles local streetcar route of the Pacific Electric Railway. It ran from the San Bernardino Depot to Highland.[1] [2] A short branch line served the Southern California State Asylum for the Insane and Inebriates at Patton.
A franchise for the line's construction was requested by the San Bernardino Valley Traction Company in 1902.[3] Constructed by the San Bernardino, Arrowhead & Waterman Railway in 1903,[4] the line was sold to Pacific Electric the following year. Passenger service to Patton ended in June 1924. By September 1934, the line was only served by a single trip, primarily for use by schoolchildren. This was discontinued on July 20, 1936 with parallel bus routes being in service as a replacement.[5]
