Railfanning around San Francisco/Oakland California Area??

Noah:

They all talk about Pinole & Martinez and missed an obvious one......The BNSF Stockton Sub going through Martinez right next to CA Hwy4.....3 Tunnels, one huge viaduct and The John Muir House (National Park Service) all in one spot. Get the folks to spend a night at the Best Western John Muir Inn at Martinez, CA (CA Hwy 4 at Pine St. Exit)

Highway 4 goes over Tunnel 1 at the Pine St. exit, the north portal of tunnel 1 is right at the end of the motel parking lot. You can see tunnel 2 and the viaduct from the parking lot. Tunnel 3 is a short run up Franklin Canyon Road (Which runs close to the John Muir House, a huge old mansion).....This is inland from the UP/SP/Amtrak station at Martinez up Main Street.....

Mudchicken,

Thanks much for the advice. I hope we can make it up that way, I think I can convince them. Good last minute advice, we will be leaving early Saturday Morning.
