| | The Altadena Railraod |
 | | Call it what you may---The Los Angeles Terminal Railway, The Altadena Railway, The Pasadena Railway, The San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Utah Railway---the little steam engine line that serviced Altadena in the late 1880's was a product of a boom period and almost as quickly a victim of the bust. |
 | | The service was originally organized as the Pasadena Railway Company in 1887 by investors John Woodbury, James Swartout, and opulent Altadenans Andrew McNally and Col. G. |
 | | The original plan to have a line run from an Altadena railroad yard to Salt Lake City, Utah was still in the offing, but the land bust dashed all those plans, yet not before the railroad was renamed the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company in 1901. |
