Fourth and last set. Anyone remember the original Eagle Cafe?  It was across the street from Pier 39 (where it is now), near SF Belt's yard.. Photo at bottom right is at King St., where the SF Belt interchanged with the SP.  Note the Eastshore Lines buses on the right.

I grew up and went to school in The City, but I was never lucky enough to catch train action around the Marina Green. Glad you did.

The Eagle Cafe visible in picture 1 survives atop Pier 39 adjacent to the pedestrian bridge to the parking garage.

The Eagle Cafe remains a great place to eat breakfast with a narrow outdoor seating area that overlooks Fishermans Wharf.

Very little traffic in and out of the Presidio at that time. That was the only time that I saw or knew of the SF Belt going out there.
