Description
The first railroad station in Mill Valley, California, seen here circa 1896, was located near the corner of present day Lomita and Ashford Avenues. Pictured standing in uniform on the platform is Conductor Jack Brady. To his right is O. Collister, the Eastland / Mill Valley Station Agent. Standing next to Collister is his son, name unknown. H. Westcott, the railroad's fireman, is pictured in white overalls. A North Coast Pacific (NPC) wood burning locomotive, with diamond stack, can be seen on the left side of the photo, sitting next to a typical NPC passenger car. Mill Valley was also known as Eastland, after railroad shareholder Joseph Eastland, who headed the Tamalpais Land & Water Company.
