Description
San Francisco ferries seen here circa 1894, docked in Sausalito, Marin County, with commuters and excursionists alike. Travel time was approximately 30 minutes from San Francisco. From there, passengers could board the North Pacific Coast Railroad as seen in photograph. The NPCRR was a narrow gauge railroad which served Marin County towns before traveling north to Cazadero, California. In addition to passengers, the NPCRR also carried redwood lumber, local dairy and agricultural products, and express mail. The railroad became the North Shore Railroad in 1902, then the Northwestern Pacific Railroad in 1908. Each change in ownership greatly expanded the railroads' footprint in Northern California.
