Two former Santa Fe branch lines are still in place off the sub. The Growers Lead, which is reportadly no longer connected to the main line, and the Alcohol Spur which is mostly only a short spur for NorCal Beverage. The Orange Sub also connects and crosses the UP Tustin branch line near Anaheim Stadium.
