The lake in Brisbane I’ve heard to referred to as Brisbane Lagoon, was originally part of the Bay until US101 was built and the railroad relocated the line to swing under the freeway, thus eliminating Tunnel #5. Tunnels #3 and 4 collapsed during the 1906 earth quake, pushing back the opening of the Bayshore Cutoff back an extra year to 1907. At 49:46 was my old neighborhood to the left, a hill known as Bernal Heights, I used to hear the SP switching from my house, I’d grab my gear and go shoot the switching operations that were still left in the 90’s.
@@larailfan1714 Literally some 25yrs ago on an online forum, the old Yahoo Groups, was an SP discussion, was mentioned they had interior damage, partially collapsed, my mistake on not writing it like that. In the discussion a few said it was actually #2 that collapsed, but I don’t recall the consensus regarding it the validity. I’ll have to double check the Signor Coast Line book, see what it mentions, yet to buy his book on the SP in SF, I’d hope that talks about it in greater detail. I remember the water in #4 that was leaking, the leak was fixed when the tunnels were sprayed with shotcrete. Dunno if the 89’ quake caused any issues, wasn’t working there yet.
@@larailfan1714 Plus some of the old SP guys I worked with on the commutes telling some history, who was I to question it, I enjoyed hearing the history and such. Wish I recorded them, a good many are gone now.
I figured they were either named after streets or individuals or railroad officials. My #507 does go into more detail as to how many of those interlockings get their names
Did you find that parking was a problem at your start point or did you not have a car out there? I was thinking of doing a California Railfan Safari this summer and was thinking of riding this into SF to go look at the PCC's and avoid parking in the city. I would do the same coming into NYC from NJ!
79mph. I’m a senior citizen, traditional Railfan, who has trouble digesting certain new technology when reliable technology is being replaced. I’m big on aesthetics.

From what I’ve heard the tunnels were not damaged in the earthquake. Where did you hear that they collapsed?

Assume you know many of the interlocking names are those of nearby major cross streets- Bowers Ave, Lawrence Expressway, Mary. Etc.

I traveled everywhere by train except for that 3000 mile airplane ride
What is maximum track speed? Appears to be at least 80. Why do you dislike the new MUs? Any idea what equipment will be used under live catenary?

Does the CAL TRAIN go through Citrus Heights, California?
Not sure
No, the route is from SJ to SF
Amtrak does go through though
maps never trust your life to them
