Amoco Junction was a
junction on 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] Despite being a junction, many lines did not stop at Amoco, which was only served by local 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 is not a stop or station on it, nor did it become a station on the
Expo Line that replaced the Santa Monica Air Line.
