The Jawbone Branch, also known as the Lone Pine Branch, is a former Southern Pacific Railroad line in California. It opened in 1910 to aid in construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. It connected at Mojave with the railroad's main line, running north through the Owens Valley and connecting with the narrow gauge Carson and Colorado Railroad at Owenyo. Service continues on the south end as far as the interchange with the Trona Railway.
