The San Francisco and Oakland Railroad were built in 1862 to provide ferry- train service from a San Francisco ferry terminal connecting with railroad service through Oakland. It subsequently was absorbed into the southern pacific railroad. The track in Oakland was electrified in 1911 and extended across the san Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in 1939. Service was abandoned in 1941. The san Francisco and Oakland Railroad was formed under the leadership of Roadman Gibbons and other Oakland people in order to provide transportation to Oakland by means of a ferry from San Francisco to a pier at Oakland point where passengers could take a train into Oakland service began in 1862 along 7th St, to a station in downtown Oakland at Broadway. Traffic increased steadily so an extension of the line was planned. In 1864 the track was extended across a bridge over Indian creek slough, the outlet to Lake Merritt, then along private right- to-way adjacent to San Antonio creek. His first ferryboat used by the SF&O, the leased Contra Costa, had previously been in service from San Francisco to the foot of Broadway. The lease ended in 1864 and the SF&O purchased the ferryboat Louise to replace it. With the extended railroad line, traffic increased considerably and the Louise was soon inadequate for regular service. The larger river packet Washoe, having been damaged in an explosion, was purchased, extensively rebuilt as a ferryboat, and placed in service. In 1868, the Central Pacific Railroad controlled the SF&O and anticipated much increased traffic when the transcontinental railroad was completed to Oakland. They ordered a new even larger ferryboat, the El Capitan, from a new shipyard at Oakland Point, and placed it in service. Take this beautiful wall poster to your home décor or office.
