Sacramento Northern Electrics
The
Sacramento Northern Railway
(reporting mark SN) was a 183-mile (295 km) electric interurban railway that connected Chico in northern California with Oakland via the California capital, Sacramento. It ran directly on the streets of Oakland, Sacramento, Yuba City, Chico, and Woodland and ran passenger service until 1941 and freight service into the 1960s. Electric operation ceased in 1965.
These recordings, which make up the bulk of this CD, were made on the SN in 1962, and feature both
trolley freight operations
, mainly in city streets, plus fantrips using
passenger combine 1005
, which had been saved for use as a maintenance-of-way car. A very rare recording!
Pacific Electric
We hear the distinctive sounds of the
Big Red Cars
in their final days of operation on the 20-mile
LA to Long Beach
line in 1961. Who could have known that, 30 years later, this same line would be reincarnated as “light rail,” running in almost the same exact right-of-way?
Pacific Electric
may be long gone, but it is certainly not forgotten!
As with all of our recordings, this CD comes with the
complete, original liner notes
.
