Ride and watch beautiful ferryboats shot on some of thefirst early 16mm color film.Watch the construction and operation of the WWII Richmond ShipyardRailway by Key's staff. This line was built from Emeryville north toRichmond's Kaiser Shipyards to transport thousands of workers thatbuilt 747 Victory and Liberty ships for the war. Retired IRT elevatedcars were rebuilt to make long, and elderly, electric trains. This isa fascinating look at Bay Area history. Don't miss the Key's X-trainsand ferryboats to the 1939 Golden Gate Expo. This video has manyanimated graphical maps made just for video clarity and betterunderstanding of the Key's lines, streetcar lines and the SP-IERelectric lines in the ferry and later bridge era. Great synchronizedsound and period music too! 1 hour Post WWII era. See the end of the streetcar lines, the National City Lines take-over, and the continuation of the bridge trains until 1958. We review the similar NCL takeovers of some other large and famous electric lines that all seemed to be targeted for replacement by buses at the expense of rails. Revisit all the lines from A to F in the years remembered by most. Highlights include the former Sacramento Northern electric interurban trains that ran on the C-line until 1941 and the freight operations that continued until 1957.
