A close family friend graduated Humboldt "Normal" School in the mid 1930's and was forced to take a teaching job in Sacramento due to the Depression. Holiday weekends she would hop the King or Queen for the overnight to the Ferry Building, then NWP ferry to the day train to Eureka, arriving there early evening. The trip back reversed the route making for a long weekend with a little less than 24 hours of travel. I've often thought how much we've missed not being able to take such and adventure.
