This line was formed when the original Albina loop was split into two legs, with the leg higher up the hill becoming known as the “Upper” Albina line and getting gradually extended further north along Williams Avenue. “Williams Avenue” headboards replaced the old “Upper Albina” ones in 1905, though the line continued to carry “U” dash signs for many years.
