Beskrivelse
PCC 1079, honoring Detroit, on the Embarcadero l Glen Brewer photo
November 2023
Brick has long been a common building material in Detroit, honored by PCC 1079's livery. It was in San Francisco, too, for warehouses and industrial buildings. Until the 1906 earthquake, that is. But there are splendid survivors, like One Lombard Street, built in 1901 and designed by famed architect Willis Polk. Now offices, it's on the National Register of Historic Places.
Half a block north and 65 years earlier, rails on this part of the Embarcadero belonged to the State Belt Railroad, which shuttled freight along the waterfront between ships and mainline railroads. Alco S-2 Switcher 22 shares the frame with the engine roundhouse (right), still there but now repurposed into upscale offices.
