Something that has almost totally vanished is street running. Fifty years ago SP, WP, and Santa Fe had street tracks in the industrial parts of San Francisco. Santa Fe and WP had to bring cars in on car ferries or floats. The Santa Fe job was so busy that a switch engine crew was assigned 24 hours a day. Today most of the tracks have been paved over or removed. The car floats and piers are long gone.
