The Mayfield Cutoff (also called the Los Altos Branch or Vasona Line) was a branch line of the Southern Pacific Railroad in Santa Clara County, California. It branched from the Coast Division mainline at California Avenue in Mayfield (now part of Palo Alto) and ran south to Vasona Junction where it met the South Pacific Coast Railway. The southern segment remains in use for freight trains.
