I'm doing research on the Western Pacific's Third street line through what is now the Jack London Square district of Oakland, and I'm having quite a difficult time finding photographs of this Former Mainline. My interest is chiefly from the WP Depot at 3rd Street to the Safeway HQ building, centered around the Produce Packing district. I've done extensive research the Oakland Library's History room, and came up with less than a dozen useful photographs. I'd like to see any and all photographs you folks may have, or sources you could point me to.
Just a reminder, the WP Third Street line no longer exists, and is not the Old SP mainline that still runs down 1st street (Embarcadero West). I've too often been pointed to the extant line by numerous people, to my dismay.
Many Thanks.
