Pacific Electric Railway Company Substation No. 8, also known as the Altadena Substation, is a National Register of Historic Places structure (site #77000295) in Altadena, California. Originally used to power Pacific Electric Railway (PE) lines in the Altadena area, it is today used as an office building.[1]

The traction substation was built in 1905. In addition to providing power to the PE lines, it also powered the Mount Lowe Railway.[2] In 1941, when PE sold its Pasadena area lines to Pasadena City Lines, a subsidiary of National City Lines, the substation was included in the sale.[3] It was placed on the Register in 1977 for its significance as a part of the Pacific Electric Railway.[4]
