La Habra-Yorba Linda was a line of the Pacific Electric Railway. The route, passing through one of the most sparsely populated areas of Greater Los Angeles, was not originally intended for passenger service unless a connection to Corona was completed. Despite this, the route was opened for service and closed down in 1938 due to low ridership.
