Dr. Z Bill Root is talking about Alice St. yard down in Oakland near Jack London Square. But the area you're talking about is important too. Thank you for raising the issue. I would like to find out how the OTR got across the Santa Fe to reach the overpass of the SP. I'm speaking of the IER overpass that was used by the OTR in later years.
In the 1960s and 70s, did the OTR cross the Santa Fe on a diamond? Or did they run over the Santa Fe for a very short distance before diverging onto a track that led to the overpass. Talking moves from the OTR yard next to the Santa Fe's around the area of Emeryville-Oakland borderlands.
Draw a picture if you can and post. Thx.
