SP Commute and freight meet at Visitation early 1960's

As soon as commute train 116 passes X5863 east leaving Bayshore Yard will follow it down the Peninsula. At the time I took this the Visitation Tower was already boarded up.

Even the boarded up Bayshore tower. I haven't seen any good photos of that tower in service. I was a regular at Bayshore in the late 70s just after the FMs were replaced by the 3200 SDP45s. Good memories

Dave, you were still soiling your Pampers when I took my shot.

It is a shame UP has not painted any of their heritage locomotives in the bloody nose paint.

Just to be clear, the tower in photobob's shot is Visitacion Tower "east" of Bayshore Yard near what was left of Tunnel 5.  The interlocking tower answering to the name of Bayshore Tower was all the way at the other end of the yard up by Tunnel 4:
