Upland-San Bernardino (Pacific Electric)

Upland-San Bernardino was an interurban line operated by the Pacific Electric Railway between Downtown Los Angeles and San Bernardino, California. This line also had shorter service that terminated before the end of the line at Baldwin Park, Covina, and San Dimas. Though service along this line in its entirety was discontinued in November 1941, it still stands as the fourth-longest rapid transit line in American history, after the Sacramento Northern's Chico and Colusa services, and the Pacific Electric's own Rialto-Riverside line.

San Dimas Dam

San Dimas Dam is a concrete gravity dam in Los Angeles County, California, originally built by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District in 1922. The dam controls flooding from San Dimas Creek, a major drainage of the San Gabriel Mountains. The dam is 145 feet (44 m) high and 265 feet (81 m) long, with a storage capacity of 1,515 acre feet (1,869,000 m³) of water.

As a flood control facility the reservoir is dry for most of the year, only storing water after significant winter storms. The regulation provided by the dam allows for the efficient diversion of floodwaters from San Dimas Wash to Puddingstone Reservoir, which protects the San Dimas area of the San Gabriel Valley.

The dam is currently operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.
