The Upland–Ontario Line is a former Pacific Electric streetcar line in San Bernardino County, California. Cars did not travel to Downtown Los Angeles and instead provided a local service between Ontario and Upland with through service to Pomona.

History

Pacific Electric acquired the Ontario and San Antonio Heights Railroad Company on April 13, 1912,^[1] bringing their Euclid Avenue Line in Upland as well as their branch to Pomona into the interurban network.^[2] Connections to main line steam trains were made at Ontario Southern Pacific Station.^[3] The Ontario–Upland Line was officially interlined with service to Pomona via North Pomona until 1918, after which Pacific Electric no longer advertised the route as such.^[3] The line operated with an irregular schedule between Ontario and Upland until service was abandoned after October 6, 1928.^[3]
