McKeen Gas-Electric Car on the Los Angeles San Diego Beach Ry
1907
"The Pacific Beach and La Jolla railroads became the Los Angeles & San Diego Beach Railroad
in 1906 (although the tracks never advanced beyond La Jolla).
In 1907, after the race track in Pacific Beach had closed, the line was shortened by cutting through the former race course over what is now Grand Avenue from Mission Bay Drive to Lamont Street.
The trains to Pacific Beach and La Jolla consisted of one or more coaches and a mixed baggage car pulled by small steam locomotives, although between 1907 and 1914 some of the daily trips were made by McKeen gasoline-powered rail cars.
