Sawtelle was a suburban line operated by the Pacific Electric Railway from 1911 to 1940. This line was one of four lines connecting Downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica that did not run through Hollywood. This was the shortest route to Santa Monica, and as such had the highest ridership of any line in the system, with an all-time high of 2,644,512 in 1929.
