My new commute

Okay, not terribly swanky, but more picturesque than 101 South in the car.

Caltrain Station 4th and King Street in SF, just bought my ticket and looking toward the track. Notice how bustling it is for the #206 at 6:11.

Track #4 for me (you just can't see the placard)

Train #206

I've got the car to myself, at 6am, are you surprised?

Arriving at San Carlos Station, nothing to photograph on the way, for 23 miles it's dark outside!

Still having trouble with the new camera, this was the clearest of 4 shots! Still cannot read the elevation.

San Carlos Station, 6:45 am, if I had time, I'd stick around for breakfast, they have a great review.

On the way to the office, my office mate Guy picked me up, we're down the street from these guys.

Sigh, another day, another dollar, we're on the top floor.

That white is car is where I'd normally park (butthead).

I thought' I'd stroll out at lunchtime, this is (not surprisingly) the backside of our building.

We've got several pathways to walk in our complex, and if I'd have ventured further, loads of spots with large bodies of water. I was content to stick close by, we've got a cool meditation walk, but unfortunately on this day, there were workman all over that area.

We also share the space with loads of geese, watch where you're walking! This guy kept a watchful eye on me.

Lots of geese, these are but a few. Many ducks too, but sometimes you really have to dodge all the goose poop on the sidewalks

Sunning in a nice spot. No swans for NA, I'm afraid.

The sideways side of the building.

Down among the sheltering palms.

I've spared you photos from the inside of my office, ick.

Backside of the San Carlos Station, ready to head for home.

Good to know I'm on the right platform!

Incoming train, heading South to San Jose.

Approaching Burlingame Station. Not all of the old stations exist, but this one is really pretty, even through the filthy window of the train.

Burlingame Station

The old Milbrae Station has been replaced since the BART station also connects there. But they saved the old station and a vintage car, too.

Expressed past San Bruno and look, up on that hill, South City.

My shots of the Cow Palace and the bay, just did not turn out, lots of misc track shots, too boring and no interesting grafitti.

So here we are, nearly back at the station at 4th and King Street. Right now, we're running parallel to Third Street and this is Baker & Hamilton, since 1849!

This is an old Federal Rail Car on the siding, why it's there, I can't tell you.

A couple of trains, waiting on the side.

So, most of my shots on MUNI after detraining were crap, but, I boarded the N-Judah, and headed for the Financial District to transfer to the 1 California Bus to get me home.

Apologies to the Dodger fans on the LoT, AT&T Park, home of the SF Giants.

Shortly, we turn on to the Embarcadero, great view of the Bay Bridge, except where I was sitting on the train...naturally. Then I missed a great shot of one of the Fireboats, dammit.

Here's Pier 38 along the waterfront.

Soon, back underground and at my stop, Embarcadero Station.

Walking across Market Street to head for the bus stop, I could not resist a shot on the fly of the Ferry Building.

Quick jaunt on the 1 California and I'm home for the day.

The End!
