Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway -- August 24, 2023

San Francisco Chronicle, 06-August-1898

One of my favorite railroads is the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway, a standard gauge line that climbed the mountain using geared locomotives. In 1898, customers would take a North Pacific Coast ferry from San Francisco to Sausalito, then get on a narrow-gauge train to the end of the Mill Valley branch, where they could catch a mountain train.

The railroad, later called the Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway, operated until 1929.
