Description
Passengers prepare to board a train as it arrives at the San Anselmo railroad station, circa 1900. San Anselmo was once known as Junction, because it was where the rail line diverged, taking passengers either into San Rafael, or north to Tomales. San Anselmo took on its modern name from the original land grant, and is still the connecting point between West Marin, Ross Valley and the city of San Rafael; and is thus named "the Hub City." The North Shore Railroad bought the North Pacific Coast Railroad in 1902, and continued the operation of transporting redwood lumber, local dairy and agricultural products, express cars and passengers. The North Shore ran almost 93 miles of track between a pier in Sausalito (which connected the line via ferry to San Francisco) and Cazadero, in Northern California, until it became part of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad in 1907.
