Balboa was the southernmost route of the Pacific Electric Railway running between Downtown Los Angeles and the Balboa Peninsula in Orange County by way of Long Beach though the route was later cut back to the Newport Dock. Though ridership early on was very high it slowly dwindled to 55390 in 1948. Today the beach route between Long Beach and Balboa is heavily trafficked and plans to revive rail service along this corridor have been proposed sporadically.
