Historical Tour of US 99

- Castaic Junction

Shown here, an old alignment of SR-126 separates from the Old Road . This junction was the original location for Tip's Restaurant and was located directly in front of this photo. One of the largest Standard gasoline stations was once here as well. It was located just to the right of the photo.

This photo shows the building that tips used to be located in. This was one of the last places that James Dean ate at before his accident in 1955. This photo was taken in 1982. Photo Courtesy - Michael Guerin
