Railroading on Mount Tam

On some of our hikes on Mount Tamalpais we walk along sections of the old railway line that ran up and down the mountain.

Marin filmmaker, Gary Yost, who has produced several short movies about the mountain, has just released a new one that immortalizes the railroad in song.

You can learn more about those days of yore from this book available in Marin County libraries or from Amazon.com (which will pay Dick Jordan a few pennies if you buy it through this link).
