No joint customers in Emeryville.
Prior to Santa Fe's abandonment of their Oakland branch, SP yard jobs used Santa Fe's track from 34th and Wood streets to pick up interchange cars from the Santa Fe at their Emeryville yard (which is now part of a shopping center).
When they abandoned their Oakland branch, Santa Fe received overhead rights on the SP from Stege to Alameda (although they never actually went to Alameda) and the ATSF-to-SP interchange was moved to the Wood Street yard, then to the West Oakland yard.
