Amoco Junction, Los Angeles

The tower at Amoco Junction, 1904

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.
