Nostalgia & History > A Great Mystery Solved

After at least 57 years a great mystery has been solved in my
life. I was born in San Francisco in June 1949 and lived
on Lobos Street for my first 5 years. I remember as a very
young boy seeing a steam locomotive below our house. Today
I found the line on a map. Its called the Colma Branch
and passes within 3 to 5 blocks away. Now some of you will dispute
my memory as it was severed in 1942, it did continue to the car barn
on Ocean until the 1950's. Patrick

Yes, Muni PCC's were delivered to the Elkton Shops via rail.

Correct in that the line was severed in 1942, but that was north of the Elkton Shops. between San Francisco and Bernal (2.7 miles). Muni received their PCC's from the southern connection via San Bruno.
