Logan Rock was the San Carlos Turn out of WJct in the late afternoon and worked the quarry at Logan for a few hours and went to San Carlos and set out its train and went back to San Jose when SJ was a crew change.
Tracy Rock is what we're talking about. Livermore Rock was a extra move out of Oakland in the late 60s for BART construction
