You can also spy them from Google Maps :-)
The cars are on the ex WP line than ran from the tunnel to the downtown yard.
I suspect they came in that way and have been there since. The northern end of the tunnel is all built over, I did not look for the south portal. The WP slip appears 100% gone (foot of 25th ave). New MUNI streetcar yard is to the south of this location. The Concourse Hall is the ex WP freight shed and survives. Any other remants of the WP left in the city? Crossbucks anywhere?? Oh yes, the tug is also at the Hyde Street pier too! Curious on the history of the cars, one sounds as if ex NYC (neat!). TXS
