New Meetup location to try out: The gritty side of Brisbane. Meetup location is near the intersection of Bayshore Blvd. and Industrial in Brisbane. There are some interesting things to see and photograph here, trains, an old abandoned roundhouse building with graffiti and other urban type sites. FPV pilots, a warning: Building is fenced so be aware and use caution.
GPS: BAYSHORE ROUNDHOUSE
The Bayshore Roundhouse was constructed by Southern Pacific and was a junction on the railway line running between San Francisco and San Bruno in the early 1900s. To build this section of track, it was necessary for Southern Pacific to build five tunnels, and the earth they excavated was used to construct the Bayshore Railyard.
The Roundhouse was built between 1907 and 1910, making it one of the first buildings to be constructed in the new railyard. At that time, there were more than two hundred roundhouses in California. The Bayshore Roundhouse serviced freight engines, while the smaller passenger engines were serviced at Mission Bay Roundhouse.
