Go beyond Sutro Baths and dive into Bay Area history to learn about these ruins.
The Bayshore Roundhouse at one time included a huge freight yard, shop and store buildings, 25 outbound tracks, 39 inbound tracks and a hospital for the 3,000 employees.
Eventually after years of decreasing usage, the roundhouse was abandoned, closing fully in October 25th, 1982. The decay started at the roundhouse quickly.
The site today is mostly enclosed with barbed wire fencing because of the decay and rot left behind. However, there are points that trespassers and all manner of people have scaled the property. We recommend you don't visit for safety concerns.
