The spot that now houses Homeroom, and once housed my dentist office, an abortion clinic, and other neighborhood medical offices, was once the train yard of the Sacramento Northern line. You can find other remnants of the line throughout Oakland. Here’s a photo of the train above Lake Temescal:

Hi John, Thanks for calling this out. I apologize for failing to attribute properly and thank you for sharing this under a creative commons license.

Thanks for posting the attribute. I really appreciate that. I’m trying to make my site and its images available to anyone for their non-commercial use and I don’t believe in watermarking or otherwise trying to keep someone from doing something with an image that they like. That image was taken in a different world…long ago. I can’t believe that it will be 55 years ago on Feb 13th. It doesn’t seem that long ago, but maybe it does.
Best regards and good luck with your site.
