<p>I have some Sanborn Maps of Point Reyes Station dated 1928. They clearly show the tracks, turntable, engine house, etc. but they do not indicate which tracks were narrow gauge, standard gauge, or dual gauge. Various photos out there show some of the dual-gauge track in Point Reyes Station, but my question is: is there any resource which accurately shows which tracks in Point Reyes Station in the 1920s were narrow, standard, or dual gauge? Thank you in advance for any leads on this…</p>

<p>When you have an hour or two, start Google Earth Pro and navigate to the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Click on the Historical Photos button, and slide the pointer all the way back to 1938.</p>
<p>Now, just where was the NWP yard located?</p>

<p>For those of you who poo-pooed the SJ&E and their claim to have the "Crookedest railroad in the world", here's my just completed map, and yes, they have a claim for a pretty darn crooked line, made more amazing by how fast they built it.</p>

What can anyone tell me about the isolated Albion branch? I've seen it on a "Map of the Lines of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad Company" and always wondered about it.
