Did you know that a steam engine built for San Francisco's waterfront nearly 100 years ago is still with us today?

San Francisco's historic and only surviving steam locomotive and some of the cars it pulled through the streets, faced an uncertain future when federal government evicted the railroad museum from Hunter's Point Naval shipyard. Locomotive #4 has seen ten years of restoration efforts, thousands of volunteer hours and over $50,000 in contributions spent on making the engine run again. In 2009 the engine was moved to the site of the former Southern Pacific Railroad's Bayshore yard in neighboring Brisbane. The return of steam locomotive repair to site and preservation of the Roundhouse has attracted new volunteers and community attention.

Join us in finishing the repair of the State Belt #4 and Bayshore Roundhouse so that people will be able to enjoy significant arifacts of railroad history.
