I believe the Ocean Shore began construction in 1905. Two separate railroads, the SP and Ocean Shore, operated side by side from Santa Cruz to Davenport into the 1920's. The San Vicente Lumber Company operated the Ocean Shore trackage in its last years.
Perhaps the SP was realigned toward the ocean within that right of way in some places after the Ocean Shore went away.
