This photo is along the newer portion of the
J-Church route in an area known as the Bernal Cut. In San
Francisco's early railroad history,
the long-gone predecessor route to today's CalTrain commuter line
carried the Southern Pacific through here.
Light rail uses reserved running in the middle of San Jose Ave.
in this vicinity. The stop at Glen Park has a certain forlorn isolation to
it. BART, underground, runs on a close-by and generally
parallel route, but there is nothing at the Muni station
to indicate that one of the other system's city stations is below, just to
the right
of the stairway. |
