Super photos!! The branch line turnout in the top photo was at First St. and Reservoir St. in Pomona commonly named "The Chino Spur." The intersection now has an underpass as part of the Alameda Corridor East project. The spur line was moved a short distance east to accommodate the branch line. The area SP is switching is still used on occasion. Grain hoppers are still seen there. A plant off Philadelphia St. is still served by rail.
