More Late 1970s Bayshore Yard
Author: MaineLines

I found a few more shots of Southern Pacific's San Francisco Peninsula yard while still somewhat active.

Wow, great bunch. With good paint jobs and no graffetti takes on a rear model look. Very interesting short gon in shot two. And what's the predominante car, box car. Yesterday on the way to New Orleans to fly home passed a hundred plus car CN ex IC southbound in LA, one box car. How things have changed.

Notice also the almost total lack of 40' boxcars.

I date this either 1978 or 1979

Look at all that carload traffic!  That was a happenin' yard back in the day.  How quickly it all vanished...

"Tail End Charlie" thanks you for sharing some true SP nostalgia.  Bayshore sure looked good back in those graffiti free days.  Love those loaded scrap gons in the last shot.
