Keep Petaluma River Navigable -- June 26, 2023

Petaluma Daily Morning Courier, 28-June-1923

The Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railroad was an interurban electric line that connected Petaluma and Santa Rosa. Branches went to Sebastopol and Two Rock. Steamboats carried passengers and freight between San Francisco and Petaluma. This ad pointed out that the more tonnage shipped, the more the US government would pay for dredging. 

The Northwestern Pacific Railroad purchased the PSR in 1932. Passenger service ended on 01-July-1932.
