The train will leave Tiburon at 8:45 a.m., then travel slowly around the bayshore, through Corte Madera and the outskirts of Mill Valley. It will arrive in Sausalito about 10:45 a.m.

In Sausalito passengers will get out to take pictures. Among the objects to photograph here will be the ferry boat Berkeley.

After the Sausalito stop, the train will, in railroad language, highball, to San Rafael, then to Santa Rosa, where it will pull in at 12:55 p.m. In the afternoon it will return to Tiburon. arriving about 4:45 p.m.

The association said that it has arranged for bus service from San Francisco and Oakland to Tiburon. A round-trip ticket $1.75. Excursion tickets cost $6.50, “if reservations are made by Nov. 11.” After Nov, 11. tickets will cost $7. They may be purchased from Northwestern Pacific and Southern Pacific ticket offices in San Rafael, San Francisco, or Oakland.
