Location #19
This location covers the place where
the original Route 2 crossed the SP railroad tracks just south of the old steele
Pismo Creek bridge. It's a noteworthy spot, because it was the last unpaved
stretch of 101, and was an uncontrolled railroad crossing. There was apparantly
a small building here at one time that served as a token railway stop that was
negotiated by SP with John Price for permission to use his land for a right
of way.

1912 steele bridge, and the SP railway bridge on the right. |

Same place as the above photo
looking south. The small station building was in this area. |
 |
View looking southeast of where
the old route crossed over the tracks. |
 |
There's very little remaining
here of the old road, but this is where it came through just east of the
tracks. |
 |
Not much left of the old SP station
at Pismo Beach. |
 |
This was probably part of the
foundation or walls of the building. |

Another view of the remains of
the Pismo station. |
