History

Further information: Ontario and San Antonio Heights Railroad Company

Pacific Electric acquired the Ontario and San Antonio Heights Railroad Company on April 13, 1912, bringing their Euclid Avenue Line in Upland as well as their branch to Pomona into the interurban network. Connections to main line steam trains were made at Ontario Southern Pacific Station. 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. The line operated with an irregular schedule between Ontario and Upland until service was abandoned after October 6, 1928.
