History
The Ninth Street Line was built by the Los Angeles Railway in 1895 and ran via Spring Street, 9th Street, and Park View to a junction with the Lincoln Heights Line at 10th and Hoover Streets. From there both routes ran along West 10th Street to a terminus at Vermont Avenue. Circa 1911, the Park View section was eliminated and the route was extended along 9th Street, Vermont, and 8th Street to a loop at Western Avenue. [1]
In 1920, the line was rerouted, operating from 8th and Harvard via 8th; Vermont; 9th; Spring; 2nd; Traction Way; 3rd; and Santa Fe to 2nd, terminating at the Los Angeles Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway station. [2] It was given the letter designation N in 1921. [3] [4]
Tracks were laid on a newly-rebuilt Spring Street in June 1932, extending the line to the Sunset Boulevard Plaza. [5] [6] [7] Cars were temporarily routed to Union Station as the line's northern terminal between May 1939 and June 1946. [8] [9] In 1950 the route was removed, though the 8th Street section of the line continued to run as part of the re-routed S line. [1]
