Historical Context
In the San Francisco East Bay Area, an interurban railway was launched as the Oakland and Antioch Railway. The company opened a trolley-wire powered line that ran from Oakland through a tunnel in the Oakland hills to Moraga, Walnut Creek, Concord, Pittsburg, to Sacramento. The company later became the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern Railway and ultimately the San Francisco-Sacramento Railroad up until the 1918 merger with the Northern Electric where it became the Sacramento Northern's Southern Division or "South End". The OA&E was recognized by its heavyweight steel cars and all overhead pantograph power collection. It also featured a tunnel and a car ferry. |
