Railroad Crossing

RAILROAD CROSSING 

Your are standing in the path of the North Pacific 
Coast Railroad. Completed from Sausalito north 
in 1874, it made the mill and resort much more 
accessible to San Francisco area cities. Visitors 
could leave the cities by ferryboat, board trains 
near Sausalito, picnic in the park, and return the 
same day.

Freight trains carried raw materials to the mill 
and returned with paper products, wood and 
mail. Dairy goods got to market in hours. The 
railroad helped Samuel Taylor's ventures thrive.
