“One of the gasoline-electric cars standing at the Woodacre Lodge Station. Today the car would be on the exit road leading from the county fire station to the intersection of Carson and Railroad Avenues. [View toward the east] The Grand Stairway between the station and the park is in the center of the picture. The Woodacre Lodge Station was the primary station in Woodacre. Another station in Woodacre at Park Street was only a flag stop.” (Caption from Jim Staley. Photo from the Collections of Newall Snyder and Jim Staley)

“A wood-burning locomotive pulling a passenger train, which bears the logo of the North Pacific Coast Railroad, nears the apex of its arduous climb up the eastern slope of White’s Hill. After crossing the trestle it will traverse a 1,250 foot tunnel and be in the San Geronimo Valley. This trackage was abandoned in 1904 when the Bothin-Woodacre tunnel was opened.” (Photo and caption courtesy of Jim Staley)
