Bay Bridge Sep 1938

View west on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge cantilever section east of Yerba Buena Island. A key System A-line bridge unit #179 testing the system on the dedicated tracks. Notable is that the pantograph is up and the train is drawing power from the overhead line, the third rail had yet to be energized
