Fourth and Townsend
JPBX #910 departs Fourth and King, formerly Third and Townsend, with the #156 Local making all stops between San Francisco and San Jose. The signal bridge on the right is one of the only original SP signal structures left on the Peninsula, and it may very well be one of the last SP cantilevers left in the state of California.
Prior to 1976, the original SP station was at Third and Townsend. Built in 1910, the depot served SP's coastal long-distance trains originating out of San Francisco such as the Lark, Del Monte, and Coast Daylight, in addition to trains of the Peninsula Commute. The last intercity train departed Third and Townsend in 1971, the demolition and relocation of the terminal followed five years later.
