The Embarcadero Freeway, officially known as State Route 480, was a double-decked elevated highway in San Francisco constructed in the 1950s as part of a broader plan to develop an extensive freeway network across the city. Running along the waterfront, it connected the Bay Bridge to the northern neighborhoods but was widely criticized for cutting off the city from its historic waterfront and obstructing views. In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake caused significant damage to the freeway, leading to its closure. Public sentiment, which had increasingly favored preserving the city's waterfront character, led to the decision not to repair but to demolish the freeway in the early 1990s. Its removal transformed the Embarcadero area into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly boulevard, reconnecting the city with its waterfront and sparking significant redevelopment and revitalization.

Chrysler as the headquarters for his automobile company. Standing at 1,046 feet, it was briefly the world's tallest building, known for its distinctive stainless steel spire inspired by Chrysler radiator caps.

In January 1969, a dramatic incident occurred when three Penn Central locomotives derailed and blocked the northbound lane of the Southeast Expressway in South Boston. The locomotives, part of a freight train, were traveling on a bridge over the highway when the tracks gave way due to poor maintenance and the bridge's deterioration. The engines fell onto the highway, disrupting traffic and causing a major scene. The Penn Central Railroad, which had formed only a year earlier from the merger of the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central, was already struggling financially and operationally, and the derailment highlighted the infrastructure issues plaguing the company. The incident underscored broader challenges in the rail industry at the time, contributing to Penn Central's eventual bankruptcy in 1970.
