    Our company (Demex) were the subcontractors responsible for the haulage and disposal of the spoil generated by the tunnel excavations. We were also the demolition contractors for the old Post Office workshops which stood on the exact spot of the tunnel pictured above. You can just see part of the demolition work about halfway up the right-hand side of the photo

    The freeway in the background is now Interstate 880. The route designation may have been State Route 17 in 1973.

    The utilitiy in this area, Pacific Gas and Electric Co.., had to raise the pole at right of frame so high voltage lines would clear the tracks. That's a long pole.

Water, water everywhere...

    Someone one way more local will know - but the main road street lamps look vaguely Dublin and that track is very greyhound racing. Is this the old Chapelizod track? I think it was flooded in 1954.
  • Paul McNamara said:
    Could it be Chapelizod Sports stadium, where the industrial estate is now?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    mikeyashworth Per wikipedia on Chapelizod track: The greyhound racing started on 26 December 1949... The greyhound operation continued until around c.1960. The site was demolished and today is the Chapelizod Industrial Estate
  • Niall McAuley said:
    mikeyashworth Well done, it is indeed Chapelizod! The road on the far bank of the Liffey is St. Laurence's Road, and many of the houses are still standing: St. Laurence's Streetview
