When the Bay Area Rail History Group was formed in 2001, the first question I asked was about this railroad. Like many here on this discussion board the first time I saw this railroad was when riding in a car and crossing over the track on the freeway. I think it was US40 back then. Growing up in San Francisco as a kid I always looked for a train as my parents and I headed out of the Bay Area. I only saw a train once as we passed over.
The first time I drove to that location was with a friend around 1961-62. I believe the rails were gone by then, but we could see the old right of way and the underpass it went through.
Just as when I first found the answer to my inquiry back in 2001, I'm enjoying the discussion here.
