Union Pacific's Anaheim Branch, constructed around 1917 by predecessor San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, diverged from the mainline at Whittier Junction, and wound its way through La Habra and Fullerton, then crossed the Santa Fe at Basta and paralleled the Santa Fe to Anaheim, at which point the rails crossed Lincoln Boulevard and became the Southern Pacific. This line was abandoned from Basta (where the Hunt-Wesson Fullerton facility was) to Anaheim in the ealry 1990s. Through Fullerton's Sunny Hills, the line paralleled curvy Bastanchury Road as it snaked through the wooded hills. At the northern end of this scenic portion on June 24, 1983, the daily Union Pacific local, powered by a pair of GP30s, approaches Imperial Highway and, from that point, much more mundane scenery as it heads back to East Yard in suburban Los Angeles.
