Summary[edit]

Description
English: Here is a picture of the first electric car to operate into Monrovia back in the day when Monrovia boasted of 2,000 population and autos were known as “horseless-carriages.” It was taken on March Ist, 1903, the date of first operation of the line.

The line to Monrovia was constructed by the original Pacific Electric Railway, being an extension from Oneonta Junction to California Avenue in Monrovia. Extension of the line to Glendora, present terminus, was completed in 1907.

Among old-time residents of Monrovia in the picture are Judge Carpenter, Charles Anson, and H. Kirckensclager, the latter being the first Ticket Agent to serve in Monrovia.
