Tommy De La Rosa, the Rocket, qualified in SP steam as an engineer in 1955 here on the Coast line (ultimately running the Starlate until 2000 when he was 80---) just in time to spend his time moving all the steam engines from the Bayshore yards in south San Francisco to be scrapped and I believe he said they went somewhere in the Oakland area. Does that sound right?
