Description
This collection consists of work orders generated by the Los Angeles Pacific Company between April 1906 and June 1907. These

Background
The Los Angeles Pacific Company, incorporated October 12, 1905, ran from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica via Hollywood.
A few years later, the Los Angeles Pacific Company voted to merge with the Santa Monica & Northern Railway Company to create
a new corporation also known as the Los Angeles Pacific Company (effective April 4, 1907). Effective September 1, 1911,
the Los Angeles Pacific consolidated with seven LA-area electric lines to form the Pacific Electric Raillway Company.
