Kerrville Tunnel

About as far west as you can go on the old AT&SF. Without a car float...

Tunnel at Point Richmond, not too far from where you go into the water without a carfloat.

Yes, you two got it. For the better lack of a name it is the Ferry Point Tunnel at Point Richmond, CA on the BNSF.  This is Yard Job 407 based out of OIG in Oakland. It was transfer of over 3000 feet of mostly empty well cars plus five locomotives that had to split its train into three pieces to get it into the yard. The track is out of service just beyond where they stopped. This was the longest cut that got them to break through to the other side before backing in. Just happened to be a UP unit leading on the trip up from Oakland.  Here is a photo of the train on the Point Richmond side before they hit the tunnel.
