According to the Hilton & Due book, it opened in 1913 with internal-combustion motor cars, and the electrification was completed later that year. But the line deteriorated in its later years and it was abandoned in 1946. One SL&U car survives in operating condition: Control trailer observation car 751 is preserved at Western Railway Museum near Fairfield CA, and the MU control system has been restored so it will work in a train with Sacramento Northern 1005. Note the air whistle in the second photo--it's similar to a Pacific Electric "trombone" whistle, and makes Southern Californians feel right at home.
