San Francisco Bay

Company History: The SFBR was established in 2000 to resurrect service on the San Francisco Belt Railroad. The two Alco S-2’s that had been on long term loan to the Golden Gate Railroad Museum were returned and modified to burn bio-diesel. The two switchers were repainted with their classic San Francisco Belt Railroad lettering. They switch nearly five miles of track between Pier 80 and Pier 94/95 in San Francisco. They also use a Trackmobile to switch some terminal trackage in Richmond, California across the bay. Most of the traffic is waste soil.
