It was demolished in 1983, but the yard continued in use for car storage.<br /> <br /> A new six-track maintenance facility for historic cars was opened in 2010. The yard was named Cameron Beach Yard in 2011. Cameron Beach (1949-2011), a San Francisco native, worked for the Sacramento Regional Transit District from 1981, rising through the ranks to become Chief Operating Officer in 1991. Following retirement in 2006, Beach was appointed to the board of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA).<br /> <br /> 1977 June.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/lwdemery/">Leroy W.

URRSF eventually became the Market Street Railway Company, which in time was purchased by the city.<br /> <br /> 1977 June.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/lwdemery/">Leroy W.

Heavy wood bracing in second-story windows facing San Jose Avenue remained for several years until replaced with steel bracing. <br /> <br /> 1977 June.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/lwdemery/">Leroy W.

Muni announced plans in 1998 to demolish the building, but this drew strong opposition and was averted by order of then-Mayor Willie Brown.<br /> <br /> The building stood empty until 2004, when it was acquired by the The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.<br /> <br /> Renovation of the office building and the adjacent former substation building was started in 2018 and completed in 2020.<br /> <br /> 1977 June.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jureemhaeff/">jureemhaeff</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jureemhaeff/50511730428/" title="Clear cut."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50511730428_d5468972ca_m.jpg" width="169" height="240" alt="Clear cut." /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dlee13/">Photos By Dlee</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dlee13/50512449657/" title="The Long Bid"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50512449657_02597bf904_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="The Long Bid" /></a></p> <p>This is a photo I took during our tour to Alcatraz prison which was both fun and interesting. <br /> <br /> You can find me at the locations below:<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.photosbydlee.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Portfolio</a> / <a href="https://thephotographyenthusiast.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Tutorials &amp; Podcast</a> / <a href="https://twitter.com/mrmeowpuss" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jacksooksan/">jack-sooksan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksooksan/50512204936/" title="Golden gate bridge with strong wave hit rocks at Baker beach."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50512204936_96a70d7b3e_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Golden gate bridge with strong wave hit rocks at Baker beach." /></a></p> <p>Golden gate bridge with strong wave hit rocks at Baker beach, San Francisco, California, USA.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jacksooksan/">jack-sooksan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksooksan/50512205231/" title="Golden gate bridge with strong wave hit rocks at Baker beach."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50512205231_efcf5916cd_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Golden gate bridge with strong wave hit rocks at Baker beach." /></a></p> <p>Golden gate bridge with strong wave hit rocks at Baker beach, San Francisco, California, USA.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jacksooksan/">jack-sooksan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksooksan/50512370082/" title="Landscape of strong wave hit rocks at pacific coast."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50512370082_061db7ab3b_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Landscape of strong wave hit rocks at pacific coast." /></a></p> <p>Top view over pacific coast with strong wave hit rocks making white bubble on baker beach, San Francisco, California, USA.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jacksooksan/">jack-sooksan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksooksan/50511491753/" title="Golden gate with blue overcast sky at dawn."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50511491753_95b029f009_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Golden gate with blue overcast sky at dawn." /></a></p> <p>Golden gate bridge over silhouetted hill of Battery Spencer with blue overcast sky at dawn, San Francisco, California, USA.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/sftrajan/">sftrajan</a> posted a video:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sftrajan/50512149081/" title=""><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/31337/50512149081_6b030a1a32_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="" /></a></p> <p>Market Street, the castro, San Francisco<br /> seen from Muni<br /> <br /> 20201020_180116</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/sftrajan/">sftrajan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sftrajan/50512313632/" title="285 and 287 Fair Oaks"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50512313632_25ef1a475d_m.jpg" width="185" height="240" alt="285 and 287 Fair Oaks" /></a></p> <p>Fair Oaks Street, San Francisco<br /> <br /> 20201015_182047</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/warzauwynn/">WarzauWynn</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/warzauwynn/50512339982/" title=""><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50512339982_3649bc81df_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/sftrajan/">sftrajan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sftrajan/50512091036/" title="no 283 Fair Oaks Street"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50512091036_db2a964d2e_m.jpg" width="135" height="240" alt="no 283 Fair Oaks Street" /></a></p> <p>San Francisco<br /> <br /> 20201015_182021</p>
