    I just finished a story about ghost stations in San Francisco. I was inspired after my little Forest Hill station thread, and then I found some really great photos and cool stories about the early wild years of SF transit plans, streetcars, and tunnels.https://medium.com/@mwichary/the-best-laid-tracks-554adf9590a9 …

        So many thanks to @enf for help with research, and encouragement, and proof reading – and the massive/impressive SF archives he collected over the years. Also thanks to @outsidelandz. This tweet/photo jumpstarted the whole project:https://twitter.com/outsidelandz/status/1069828266259701762 …

        (The invisible “reading UX” part that took a bunch of time, but I am really proud of: redoing all the maps so that they’re the same orientation [and scale if need be], making it easier for readers to arrive at the good sense of the spaces I’m talking about.)pic.twitter.com/MnaayVM6qw

        Unexpected addition to my article from a few years back: since the trams are not running, I got a chance to walk the few “backyard” blocks of the J Church today.pic.twitter.com/ag6xVOUqp0

        This is lovely. Would you mind reposting a link to the Forest Hill thread? I’m trying to find it and can’t.

        Terrific write-up! Now can you or @enf explain the diagonal line going southwest from 22nd & Harrison? I've wondered about that for years (but not enough to actually look for an answer).pic.twitter.com/Kj2FcjmZWZ

        Great work! This is the most detail I've ever seen in one place about Eureka Station.
