Re: Duel Gauge trackage in SF

I can recall seeing a photo that was taken during the reconstruction of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake that showed some dual gauge track along the Embarcadro. I surfed the net looking at San Francisco earthquake photos and couldn't find any shots showing the narrow gauge. I did find two photos taken at a sugar plant in Salinas (I thought the narrow gauge was gone in Salinas by 1906). I also found story about the railroad service following the earthquake that mentiond the South Pacific Coast several times. There were several photos of the railroad around Moss Landing but I couldn't tell if the tracks were narrow or standard.

I know this doesn't answer Tom's question but I thought it would be of interest to South Pacific Coast fans. Tom, perhaps looking at old photos of the San Francisco waterfront would provide the answers you are looking for.
