Here is a link to some maps of the State Belt RR as it was in 1926:

The "State Belt Railroad" there was a feature article with a trackplan in the April 1980 Model Railroader.

San Francisco had an industrial belt line that used to run along the Fisherman's Wharf area--it is gone now, except for a little track down by the marina end. The San Francisco historic trolleys run over that right-of-way, though.

Not much railroad equipment shown, but 1973 USGS Map (Teraserver) shows extensive rail system serving various structures pictured on this Web site.
