Key System - Photo by Don Sims
Author: Phantom_of_Cajon

The photo was taken as part of a photo story for Trains circa September of 1954. Dad doesn't recall the exact location but thinks it is the Shattuck and 41St station in Oakland. He is hoping that someone may be able to be more precise.

The clock tower is still there - it's now part of a burger joint.  The trainshed is, alas, gone.

Correct, 41st and Piedmont in Oakland.  In the foreground, the streetcar tracks are still visible for the streetcar line.  The Bridge Railway including that "C" Line, survived for about 10 more years after the streetcar line was abandoned.
