Both worked out of East Yard in East LA.
The Glendale job worked the team track at the freight house on Fletcher Drive and the various industries that were west of there, parallel to San Fernando Road. The track ended at Forest Lawn.
I vaguely remember the Pasadena job working a handful of customers in Pasadena, plus the team track at the depot on the north side of Colorado Street.
