SF Bay RR Alco S-2 #25 (and #23 partially visible) at San Francisco, CA (Cargo Way/Pier 96).

Until 1993 these units were switching the Embarcadero (SF Belt RR). From what I know they are still owned by the City of SF but are now leased to the SF Bay RR to operate at Pier 96.

From another angle:

Every time I storm chase in this region, we stay in a nearby hotel and I can hear the train horns all night. When we leave to go out chasing, or to eat at the Big Texan (the place with the 72oz steak, I watch the action when we cross over the yard. It's quite the place to watch trains, I can imagine.
