Nostalgia & History > Third and Townsend SundayDate: 11/27/11 20:06 Third and Townsend Sunday Author: africansteam Sundays at SP's 3rd 7 Townsend engine facility were generally pretty quiet as the San Francisco end of the commute fleet rested up for the next weeks rush. Here we have three views from a weekend in August of 1972.

As a Southern California boy I tended to think of the station and engine facility as one and the same.
