There were several different restaurants, I remember there was even
one across the street from the infamous Constable McLean's house in
the early sixties. The last one that I used to go to in the early
seventies was the Inverness Coffee House on Tomales Bay near the State
Park. I haven't really noticed If it's still there--- I think not.
But I've only been up there a few times in the last decade or so. I
usually ride south toward Santa Cruz.
Which brings up a question of my own. I keep thinking that Alice's on
Skyline used to be on the east side of the road across the street from
where it is now. A senior moment? |

While we're discussing Senior Moments in the Bay Area, I have memories
of crossing the Golden Gate Bridge shortly after WW2. I was about 4
years old and we were going to Mill Valley to visit relatives.
As I remember the trip, we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge in the
observation car of a passenger train.
Are there any railroad tracks on the bridge now, or have there ever
been any tracks across the bridge?
I just have to find that train. I lost my little toy truck somewhere
on the trip to Mill Valley and back.  >> Stay informed about: Marin ride question from the '70s |

Sorry, never any train tracks on the GGBridge, on it or under it. You
probably took a train from Sausalito into Mill Valley. I'd start
looking there. >> Stay informed about: Marin ride question from the '70s |

We took the train north from Ventura. There must be a train station in
San Francisco.
Maybe we switched to a Greyhound bus to get to Mill Valley. I will
have to check with Greyhound to see if they found a little blue toy
truck with one side rail missing. >> Stay informed about: Marin ride question from the '70s |

The "Key System" trains used to run on the lower deck of the Bay
Bridge. He could have across to SF on that, then took a bus to Marin,
or floated over on a train barge from Oakland.
(Are there any SF natives here)? >> Stay informed about: Marin ride question from the '70s |

Right, the Key system ran on the bottom of the Bay Bridge, along with
trucks and buses. I beleive that the Ferries were still running to
Marin. The Train Station in S.F. was at 3rd & Townsend. >> Stay informed about: Marin ride question from the '70s |

Passenger trains were ferried across to the Tiburon junction until the
40's...freight trains continued in the same vein til the '60's.
