No North End interchange with SP in Oroville through 1937 and the bridge
washout. SP interchanges were at Chico for Northbound SP, Marysville for E-W SP
(and the Oroville branch), and Sacramento for Southbound SP.
Here is the south Oroville trackage off of High street and over to the WP
interchange, and the old Swayne Lumber mill with its Narrow Gauge line that did
cross under the WP and headed into the hills to the east:

You can see the SP ROW and the old yard off on the right, along with the 2
canneries, the Swyane mill & Pond site, Coast Rock & Gravel, etc.
The fully interactive layout of this trackage for the North End SN is in the
Files section of our group.
