Tracks connecting to the Redondo Beach via Playa del Rey Line were built by the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad in 1905.[1] At the time of the Great Merger of 1911, the line was through-routed with the Third Street Local line in Santa Monica. Starting in 1916, cars operated between Playa del Rey and the corner of Pacific and Windward. Service along the line was abandoned on July 13, 1936.[2]
