Monrovia-Glendora was a route on the Pacific Electric Railway until 1951, serving the San Gabriel Valley.

It ran from 1902 to 1951, supporting real estate development in the valley.

Route

The Monrovia-Glendora route ran from the 6th & Main Terminal in Downtown Los Angeles — through:

• San Marino,
• Arcadia,
• Monrovia
• Azusa
• to Glendora.

A long section of the route was along present-day Huntington Drive. The Arcadia train station was the route's San Gabriel Valley transfer point for Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway passenger trains.
