On a morning in May 2008, I made this photo of a San Francisco Muni Breda-built light rail car taking the corner at 4th & King Streets near the Cal-Train station.

This area had only been recently redeveloped. Muni’s T-Line streetcar route to Bayshore was only a few months in service.

At the time, I found the scene fascinating and the location unrecognizable.

Since that time there have been a multitude of other changes in this area. This has included the construction and opening of the Central Subway route (that offers a continuation of the route on 4th Street) and electrification of Cal-Train’s former Southern Pacific Peninsula Line to San Jose. I can only image what this area offers now for the transit photographer!
