	'''July 9, 1959: The people in the area between 22nd and 23rd ~~sts~~. and Treat ~~ave~~. and Folsom st. have a train in their backyards. It's the Southern Pacific's small branch line, the last of it 'in-town' service for a few businesses there. Train-loving kids in the neighborhood merely have to peer over their back fence to watch 'Casey Jones' at the switch engine, jostling a few freight cars into position. The branch line, which ends at 23rd and Folsom ~~sts~~., is part of the historic 'Old Main Line,' the San Francisco-San Jose Railroad, established in 1863. The line was absorbed by SP in 1870, and was operated until 1907. At that time it was discontinued when Bayshore yards here filled in for a shorter route to the Peninsula.'''

	Harrison Street in the Mission was for most of its life a major thoroughfare for rail traffic, as the San Jose-San Francisco line ran on it, as did many freight trains, including one that went right by the factory above to pick up finished new Ford autos as they rolled off the assembly line. This area of the northeast Mission was contiguous with the Harrison Street [[Harrison Street from Dunes to Trains\|corridor]] in the South of Market, which was also very industrialized.
