[1] The part of the line from the Hill Street station to Vineyard was originally built in 1897 by the Pasadena and Pacific Electric Railway Company.

Upon leaving the siding the tracks continued on the middle of Venice Boulevard passing Normandie and Western until the line reached Arlington Avenue.

At Arlington the tracks then entered an unpaved private right of way in the center of dual roadways which ended at Crenshaw Boulevard.

The line then crossed the Grand Canal in Venice on a concrete arch bridge and turned north onto Pacific Avenue.

In the 1970s Venice Boulevard was reconfigured, straightening the roadway and converting the derelict right of way into vehicle travel lanes and a median.

The double tracks then ran on the pavement of Pacific Avenue[1] for five blocks before entering a wide private way known then as the "Trolleyway".

The tracks then followed Ocean Avenue north to the terminus of the Venice Short Line at Broadway in Santa Monica.

Following the abandonment of the line, "Trolleyway" was paved and converted into a street, today called Pacific Avenue in Venice and Neilson Way in Santa Monica.
