 railway, place with historical importance
This unpaved road (some of which is now known as Silver Lake Ct.) was the former route of the Glendale and Burbank interurban railway lines operated by Pacific Electric. The line crossed Fletcher Avenue over a viaduct before continuing along a hillside ledge to the Monte Sano stop at Glendale Blvd. and Riverside Drive. The line was constructed in 1904 and abandoned in 1955.
