City of San Francisco
This pre 1960 view of Carquinez Straight shows the City of San Francisco East bound with Mount Diablo in the background. No site of construction for the Cargquinez Straight bridges, placing this historic photo possibly in the mid 1950's. Perhaps on the return trip, this is the famed stranded City of San Francisco train that spent days in the ice and snow in Yuba Gap.
Global Rail Tours offers the Valentines narrative tour between Emeryville and Reno, with an emphasis on history, and the atmosphere of the City of San Francisco.
Notice the river tide pushing towards the San Francisco Bay on the bridge. Is this large water mass part of the San Francisco Bay, or is it part of the San Joaquin Delta? This lively geological discussion is held as the train crosses the bridge as part of the fact filled excustion aboard the California Zephr, during Global Rail Tours City of San Francisco tour.
