> Narlon is a passing siding on the Union Santa Barbara Sub within the confines of Vandenburg Air Force Base. The RR was there before the base (originally an army base build around WWII time frame). I would assume SP retained ownership of the small stretch of ROW through the base, though unsure. Narlon, and Tangair (the other passing siding on the base) are deep within Vandenburg AFB property, and any railfan caught there would likely be more than questioned by the MPs.

Surf and Honda are also "deep within Vandenburg AFB property". The "property", or at least the perimeter's remote sensing apparatus pointed at the RR, extends from the West swtich of Devon all the way to Arlight, which is almost the West end of Sudden.

> There used to be base owned spurs that connected at both Narlon and Tangair. When I was last on the base (10+ years ago) they were in the midst of tearing out all (or most?) of the trackage that connected at Narlon. We did not venture up towards Tangair on that trip as its well away from all the commercial launch facilities, so no idea if the spur that came off of it is still around or not.

The spur track at Narlon is long gone, as in several decades, at least 4 of them.

> There is some additional based owned spur tracks at South Vandenburg, but have only seem them from Amtrak.

East Garrison, and there is (or was) only one connection to the Coast main.
