I hang my head when I read on Eric’s blog, that some asked if there ever were passenger trains from Humboldt County to the Bay Area. Three passenger trains per day, and ten passenger trains in the southern end, all round trip, if I’m reading an old time table correctly in one the NWP books. Later years they dwindled down, eventually to be run by a single, self-powered Budd car.
If you want to find out more, you need to read the NWP books, plus there is a Historical Society.
For a look at passenger trains on the South End with pictures.

Cool! I would love to take the train from the Bay Area to Eureka.
