34°00′52″N 118°14′35″W / 34.014373°N 118.243152°W 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] It was the junction where the Santa Monica Air Line split off from the Watts, Long Beach and other Southern District Lines. It was one of several points at which a tower crossed the quadruple tracks between Downtown Los Angeles and Watts. Despite being a junction, many lines did not stop at Amoco, which was only served by local lines.[2] Service was provided to Amoco Junction between 1904 and 1958. Though it is located along the route of the Los Angeles Metro Blue Line, it is not a stop or station on it, nor it is it a station on the Expo Line that replaced the Santa Monica Air Line.
