To-do
list

Pending tasks for Sacramento Northern Railway:

 (purge cache –  edit this list)
  • Obtain an image of the SN's logo/crest/herald. This will have to be fair use, of course.
  • Obtain images of SN equipment, stations, etc etc.
  • Describe Sacramento-Chico to same level as Oakland-Sacramento
  • Information on SN equipment (interurban cars, trailers, locomotives, cabooses et al)
  • More info on predecessor railways (perhaps breaking off into separate articles)
  • Surviving SN equipment - we should get a complete list if possible
  • Surviving SN infrastructure
  • Perhaps the Ramon should be broken out into separate article? There's enough info on it.

(Maybe there's nothing worth salvaging, but I leave that up to the rail buffs who'd know) --Calton | Talk 06:46, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


Nothing salvageable, IMO, so I redirected it. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 10:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think Hilton & Due write Bay Bridge was equipped with top contact covered third rail (not bottom contact). The conflict was between this and the top contact third rail uncovered that was used to the north of Sacramento.

[edit] NE bridge between marysville and yuba city

this bridge is no longer in use. The line west of marysville has been abandoned and the rails have been removed, presumably for scrap. The railroad pads crossing local streets/highways in yuba city have either been paved over or left in place. The bridge itself is the focus of a study for conversion to a road bridge, to parallel the current local road bridge (between 5th street and bridge street) to provide a total of 4 lanes.
