As I posted earlier, the SP maintained the spur to Lakmer until the 1920s. I forget the reason for it, but it was mentioned in that classic Western Railroader article on the Southern Pacific Commuter Trains by Fred Stindt, ca 1957. It was a remnant of a temporary SP line to Golden Gate Park for the Exposition in 1894.
