Über das Buch
Relive a steam train ride during the summer of 1909 on a northbound Southern Pacific train boarding at Santa Cruz and then traveling through the coastal redwoods, the Santa Cruz mountain tunnels, the Santa Clara valley orchards. Witness the rebuilding of San Francisco three years after the 1906 earthquake and then transfer to the southbound Ocean Shore Rail Line in San Francisco headed towards the Pacific coast. Feel the spray of the ocean breaking against the cliffs at Devil’s Slide, witness the spectacular beauty of riding along the edge of the ocean, stop at several Ocean Shore depots along the way, ride the stagecoach between Tunitas Bay and Swanton and finally return home to Santa Cruz that night.

Enjoy this “Never a Dull Mile” round trip train ride from Santa Cruz to San Francisco!

MicroPast was founded in 2025 by Gordon van Zuiden. MicroPast focuses on the detailed study of small units of research, such as individual lives, specific businesses, unique locations or immersive travel adventures. These detailed micro history stories emphasize depth over breadth, providing a nuanced understanding of history and travel through rich, contextual analysis. Gordon founded Micropast based on the passion that he has to explore unique historical stories in places where he has lived, worked or travelled, especially Los Gatos, Capitola, and Paris, France. These stories are the culmination of working with fellow historians, online research, and in person interviews - weaving together rich, detailed, unique stories about people and events that have rarely been brought to life.
