Very nice shot in my proverbial back yard. Great memories. This I believe is the Broadway Burlingame station, and about half a mile ahead of the engine is "downtown" Burlingame which was my father's commute stop while I was growing up. Some of my earliest memories were of the Pacifics, 4300's and then Daylight 4-8-4's on the "fleet". My mother worked in a doctor's office that was no more than a stone's throw from where you were standing for the picture, and one of the patients was Lance Proundfit, local SP road foreman. That lead to my hiring out as a fireman and life just evolved from there. Thanks for posting.
