CHAPTER ONE: THE NORTH END;
Hog Davis establishes headquarters in Abe Beatty's and oversees the construction of miles of track through swamp, rangeland and valley; the narrow gauge provides work for the teamsters it puts out of business
Pg. 1
CHAPTER TWO: THE SOUTH END;
Pg. 93
The first run over the narrow gauge is a tale of fear and loathing at Tank Siding; Hog Davis whoops it up while his crews sweat it out putting the railroad back on the track; the coast is finally linked to the bay
CHAPTER THREE: RESURRECTION
Pg. 181
The last train over the hill is long gone; some discussion of alternatives to big, expensive freeways, an enthusiastic revival meetir}g or two, and what to do with old abandoned railroad tunnels
A book to go with the first book, but in many ways covering new ground, new frames of history simply lost to the first. This second generation document has a wealth of new information about a splendid narrow gauge railroad that passed through the east San Francisco Bay area and climbed over the high hills to the Santa Cruz coast. Fascinating reading!
