There is no regular service through Hayward, just what I've outlined above. However, from time to time cars are stored on the out of service portion, and jobs out of Oakland or Warm Springs will handle them as needed. There had been some stored at Carpenter recently (Hayward-Union City area), so possibly that's what you saw. What kind of cars were they? I think there were some tanks or covered hoppers stored there most recently. If I remember tomorrow, I'll see if I can find out.
