Amoco Junction, Los Angeles
Railway site, California / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amoco Junction was a junction in the Pacific Electric Railway's Southern District. It was located in Nevin, South Central Los Angeles at 25th Street and Long Beach Boulevard. It was named after a nearby American Olive Company (AmOCo) plant.[1][2][3][4]

It was the junction where the Santa Monica Air Line split off from the Watts, Long Beach, and other Southern District Lines.[5][6] It was one of several points at which a tower crossed the quadruple tracks between Downtown Los Angeles and Watts.[7] Although Amoco was designated as a junction, many lines did not stop here. It was served only by local railway cars and the Air Line.[8][full citation needed]
Service was provided to Amoco Junction between 1904 and 1958. Though it is located along the route of the Los Angeles Metro A Line, it was not revived for use as a stop or station on it. Neither did it become a station on the Expo Line that replaced the Santa Monica Air Line.
