San Francisco's 23rd St. Bridge Views

The 23rd St. bridge over Caltrain mainline in San Francisco has a nice view of the 22nd St. Station. I guess it used to be a lot nicer photo location, before they retrofitted the freeway piers and put in the new signal tower and stopped running freight north of Quint St. Well, now they are replacing the 23rd St. bridge with a regular concrete bridge with a chain link fence and who knows what other impediments.

I took a few pics of the Caltrain commutes today there today. Two more days to get shots off this bridge before it's done 'fer. They are closing the bridge on Monday.

I talked to the Disney Construction person putting up some signage. Not related to Walt Disney.

This is 22nd St. bridge but same as 23rd St. I believe.

According to this maker's plate the bridge was made in 1906 by:
