• Origin of Name: Named after a fossil bivalve mollusk, Lucina subanta, found in the area
• Miles from San Francisco: 680.5
• Used by Railroad: 1875- 1907
• Railroad Function:  The end-of-track camp 1.7 miles west of historic Lucin, became known as Umbria junction.
• Historic Significance: : Staffed by employees of the Central Pacific and South Pacific Railroads; with construction of the Lucin Cutoff in 1904, the junction of the old line and the new line, just a half mile west. Its name has achieved permanence chiefly due to its becoming the junction point of the old Promontory line of the Central Pacific and the new cutoff, built just after the turn of the twentieth century; the Lucin Cutoff shaved off 44 miles, through steep, winding passages from the original Transcontinental Railroad
