The State Belt continued to serve the SF dock area until sometime in the 1980's. I can remember heavy equipment on TTX flats moving to a pier for export, and the Anchor Steam Brewery (an SF tradition not to far from Fisherman's Wharf) got inbound covered hopper loads. The American Freedom Train traversed the trackage all the way down to the Presidio (although the 4449 had to stay south of the tunnel under Fort Mason). Now a trolley car line hauls tourists over more or less the same route.
