I used to work for a tech company in that area off Bayshore. I think there's a cement factory in that area that train primarily serves.

[@SeligsTrainsandTravels]

ahh i see

[@davidsteele1667]

I grew up in Redwood City, not too far from the port. When I was a kid in the ‘80s it was SP locomotives going up and down chestnut street. Back in the day chestnut was a horrible street. Rough as hell and full of pot holes. I was told it was the worst street in America.

[@SeligsTrainsandTravels]

quite a difference from today!

[@davidsteele1667]

@@SeligsTrainsandTravels Chestnut street was fixed up in 90s I believe. It’s been a few years since I last visited Redwood City, but especially since the recovery from the 2008 crash the whole area has changed so much, I barely recognize it anymore. I remember riding bikes along the tracks where they pass underneath the 101 freeway.

[@SeligsTrainsandTravels]

@@davidsteele1667 yeah, it definitely was fixed before i came around

0:07 more than 3 times a week, don't forget about the Rock Job that runs at night. 2 Freights go down Chestnut, the LSF51 and Rock Job.

@@SeligsTrainsandTravels if you're lucky enough it dies on hours and sits in Redwood Junction.

[@SeligsTrainsandTravels]

@@ThePeninsulaRailfan yeah i've seen that before

Who puts trains in neighborhoods it’s dangerous!

[@SeligsTrainsandTravels]

[@DTHESHARK]

Does that train return to south San Francisco switch yard or it stays in redwood?

[@SeligsTrainsandTravels]
