 Pacific Electric Glendale-Burbank Line
In the same year, PE extended this line to Broadway and Verdugo Road as part of a proposed loop line which would turn south on Verdugo Road to the base of the hills (near Forest Lawn Cemetery), turning then west to rejoin the main line near Tropico.
Due to the comparatively low patronage of PE's three local bus lines in Glendale it was not necessary to maintain a complete staff devoting its entire time to that area; thus various employees having to do with the operation of those lines also devoted a part of their time to other portions of the system.
For the purpose of maintaining the track and roadway of the Glendale interurban line there was one foreman who devoted all his time to this work; under his supervision: one track walker and four laborers who also devoted all of their time to the Glendale Line.
