Dr. Zarkoff knows his history. You can make out the Key System right of way in bits and pieces along Linden St. between Yerba Buena and 55th by looking a present day buildings and their angles occupying what was once an important Key artery. See my site at www.keyrailpix.org for photos.

Four tracks were on dirt road then known as Linden St. The Claremont, Shattuck and Northbrae (Sacramento St.) lines all used this segment, splitting up near 55th.

Santa Fe ran along Adeline between what is now 40th St. and on to Lowell, then Sacramento. Heading geographically north, the AT&SF left Sacramento St. near Oregon St. Google satellite view makes finding the right of way easy.

At Stanford (Golden Gate Tower) the SP on Stanford crossed with the Santa Fe and parallel Key System Sacramento St. lines. You can see the Key System alignment to this day on Lowell.

SP's California St. trains split from the Shattuck and Ellsworth lines at Stanford near Occidential Sts. and ran to Thousand Oaks in Berkeley. The bridge over a cut at Rose Street still exists.

Zarkoff mentions the discontinuance of the California St. line in 1933 by SP and Key System moving their Northbrae lines onto Monterey Ave. Key quit the H line for good in 1941.

You can see the retail building at California & Hopkins Sts. today (or look on Google satellite view) and note than angle of the structure. Key Northbrae trains once ran behind the building.

There is a home at Ada & California Sts. in Berkeley at a cockeyed angle; it sits on the one-time Key System right of way. Interesting stuff.
