ex-Southern Pacific*
Title:  ex-Southern Pacific*
Description:  Remnants of the ex-SP Ojai spur on a private road near the CA-33 / Ojai Fwy offramp & Stanley Ave. *This line originated as the Ventura & Ojai Valley Railroad in the 1890's, and was purchased by the Southern Pacific Railroad a few years later. Named the Ojai spur it came off of the main line at what is now the Olive St crossing. Up until 1969 this spur traveled to Ojai, afterward the line only went as far as the USA Petroleum refinery off of Crooked Palm Rd. SP gave up using this line sometime after the closure of the refinery in 1984. Most of this old spur is now the [Rails-to-Trails] Ventura River Trail.

ex-Southern Pacific*
Title:  ex-Southern Pacific*
Description:  A wheel tractor-scraper parked on an ex-SP abandoned spur. *This spur serviced Basso Distribution and a lumber yard, Im unsure what other, if any, businesses this spur serviced. None of the rails have been pulled and they go into heavy overgrowth, this spur dead ends at Pleasant Valley Rd and is directly behind the businesses on the west side of Dawson Dr between Pleasant Valley Rd and the Lewis Rd / CA-34 overpass. This end of the spur was abandoned years ago, but the other end which connects to the Union Pacific main line siding may still be used periodically to deliver lumber and park UP right-of-way equipment.
