G refers to several streetcar routes in Los Angeles, California that ran via Griffith Avenue. The lines were operated by the Los Angeles Railway from 1910 to 1946.
The Griffith Avenue streetcar line opened on November 1, 1905, running from Temple Square via Main, 12th, Stanford, 14th, and Griffith. [1] The line was combined with the Griffin Avenue line in 1910. The new service ran from Vernon and McKinley to Griffin and Montecito. It was briefly extended to Seville Avenue and Santa Ana Street in the south from 1919 to 1920, but was reverted to its original terminus. [2] The line was given the designation G in 1921. [3] [4]
The G line followed the same route through to Griffin until 1926 when that segment of track was taken over by the A-2 line. The Angeleno Heights Shuttle Line was absorbed into the service and served as the G's new north end. The following year the Edgeware Road and Douglas Avenue sections were transferred to the C line and the terminus cut back to Bellevue Avenue and Edgeware Road. By 1930 the terminus was again cut back to Sunset and Beaudry. [2]
In 1932 the northern section was again changed, with the Angeleno Heights segment of tracks transferred to the A line. The new route operated from Vernon and McKinley Avenues to Spring and Ord Streets via McKinley, 14th, Stanford, 12th, Main, Sunset, and Spring. [2] [5] [6] [7]
The line ceased running through Downtown after February 1938, operating as a shuttle service on the south side from 12th and Stanford to Vernon and McKinley. [8] Streetcar service ended on June 30, 1946. [2]

The Pasadena Short Line was a passenger railway line of the Pacific Electric Railway. It ran between Downtown Los Angeles and Downtown Pasadena, California, through Eastside Los Angeles along the foot of the eastern San Rafael Hills to the western San Gabriel Valley. It was in service under the company between 1902 until 1951, though it had operated under different companies back to its beginnings as a horsecar line. The route, designated by the company as line 2, was the key component of the company's Northern Subdivision.

5 or the 5 Car was a streetcar line operated by the Los Angeles Railway, later named the Los Angeles Transit Lines, and by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority.

Consequently, the 5 Car was unique during the LAMTA era in that it did not use PCC streetcars. It used buses from 1955 to 1964, transferring from LATL in 1958, then splitting the line in two in 1961, until all lines were turned over to SCRTD in August 1964.

During its Los Angeles Transit Lines days, around 1950 to 1955, Line 7 was rerouted off South Broadway to Central Avenue, at least as far north as 7th Street across Olympic Boulevard to possibly Vernon Avenue, covering trackage that was abandoned rail by line U, when that line was converted to trolley bus August 3, 1947.
