Vintage Cable Car Pictures from the San Carlos Depot Cafe ~ Monday, February 19, 2018
We are very sad that the Depot Cafe in the San Carlos station has gone out of business. They had good breakfasts, and it was a convenient place to get a coffee to go before getting on CalTrain.

The station area is being built up with new housing, generally a good thing around here, but meanwhile all the most convenient parking has become a construction site, and the fact that it's difficult to actually get to the cafe took away a big chunk of their patronage.
The place was full of train pictures and they had a silent auction to sell them off, where I just picked up this set of 4 cable car pictures, which they told me were out of an "Americana Calendar" from 1954. Also a RR pin from Hawai'i, and a T-shirt from the construction project that built the elevated tracks through San Carlos and Belmont.
