I've always enjoyed the weird odd lots and the parks that fit in some of them in the Mission. Still hoping that eventually something gets done with the one by the Atlas Stair building [1]. I've also always wondered why Treat doesn't seem to line up with the rest of the line farther south, and this site says that it's because a small rail yard was there [2], which makes it look like Treat was a siding and the main line ran down Harrison.
Fun fact: this was also the line that used to take bodies to the cemeteries in Colma, which is why there are still a couple mortuaries around, e.g. the one right off 17th and Valencia amidst all the fancy restaurants, and apparently a working crematorium at 17th and Folsom?
