Author: KeyRouteKen Photo number 1 depicts the construction of "Bridge Yard" near the toll plaza of the San Francisco--Oakland Bay Bridge.

Photo number 3 depicts an extremely SAD site--- the scrapping operation of Key Units in Emeryville's "Yerba Buena Yard". Note the derelict remains of Tower 2 in the background: once a great sentinel overlooking "Emeryville Junction"...    Date: 04/25/07 08:24 Re: "Bridge Railway" Before and After......
