West Santa Ana Branch

The right-of-way runs nearly straight on a diagonal between the two cities, in contrast to the cardinal grid of Orange County.

A Caltrans survey in 1981 reported that the line had been reduced to a single track railway, which had several level crossings removed and was in poor condition.

14 in Santa Ana was added to the list of National Register of Historic Places on September 22, 1983.

[12] All currently planned projects on the WSAB right-of-way have been various forms of light rail, including modern streetcars using light-rail vehicles (LRVs).

[15] As of 2016[update], the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is collaborating with the cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove to build a streetcar line.

The western terminus of the proposed route would follow the Pacific Electric right-of-way near the intersection of Harbor Boulevard and Westminster Avenue in Garden Grove.
