If "them" are freight trains, yes, but there would be clearance limitations West (north) of Bayshore yard because of tunnels 1-4. There is some service to Quint St, the Hunter's point lead, and Carroll ave, but none of it has ever been double stack or auto rack cars. Back in the SP days, high-wide loads to SF had to be run against the current of traffic through tunnel 4, but still there was a set of maximum permissible dimensions which didn't include double stacks and auto rack cars.
