Wherisit in 1972
Author: lamta_jay

Taken in 1972 

​This branch had just recently been abandoned
because of a freeway project (and a lack of business)
​on the short branch.

Clue...this branch once crossed a Santa Fe Main line

​Whereisit ???? Any guesses ?

Charlie's reply is backwards as the branch was SF, The San Dimas crossed the SF but seems like that was
pulled before 1972. The line to Corona crossed the SF main and was pulled up around there? Jay, you're
killing me cause I should know this!

BNSF6400  IS the winner

The shot is the San Dimas Branch at Lone Hill crossing
Lone Hill Road.

At one time this line had a tower where it crossed the
Santa Fe's Second District.

When I took this shot the ties and rail were still on the
​right of way behind me to the junction with the Baldwin
Park Branch (PE San Bernardino Line)

​Thanks for all you replies

Jay
