The above is the "Hole"  at 11th  --  in the distance on our left is an 
1101 IB pulling into 11th and anudder 1101 in the distant right backing 
out onto Market where it will head OB, to the N-Judah if a pullout or to 
the barn if a pull-in.     J-Church cars wyed here to get to their line 
but in these days, Only Baby Tens were used on the J.     1132 has 
pulled just past the X-Over - look closely and it can be seen - and the 
op is lowering the back pole, will then raise the front pole, back up 
and use the X-Over then back onto Market.

BO cars would be pushed deep onto the tracks in 11th, especially the 
track on our right where they wouldn't interfere with regular operations.

This is sort of a rare picture  --  note the TrolleyCoach overhead in 
the OB direction only on 17th  --  this was temporary and only lasted a 
short time during the subway construction on Market near 17th to connect 
to the Twin Peaks tunnel portal.
.
This was a shallow angle turnout which this 1101 is taking and 
occasionally the trolley pole would follow down the wrong wire and of 
course DeWire~!~!~!~!      Some lady would often walk her dog in this 
location and it would sit there intently watching the trolley pole, 
growling very low level at it  --  if it DeWired he just went 
Berzerke-ely  (That's the Really Left Coast~!~!~!~!)
