Introduction:

SANTA ANITA
Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia was the magnet which drew thousands of Angelenos via PE trains from December to March each year. PE ran every type of car in this service and most enjoyed capacity loads. Santa Anita wanted PE to build a spur track directly to the grandstand, but PE could not see the advisability of this. Instead, a new station stop was created at the nearest point to the grandstand on the Monrovia Line. The race track arranged with Tanner to use its busses to shuttle PE passengers to the track, Tanner being agreeable to perform the service in exchange for free parking privileges for its busses.
