The "Linear Park" was the WILLOTTA Branch of the Sacramento Northern railroad. Originally powered by outside third rail.. It ran due South along the freeway, almost to the truck scales, and veered off West thru the orchards to WILLOTTA at the Rockdale Road... The track crossed North Texas Street in Fairfield next to an A&W Root Beer stand and a bowling alley.
More on the WILLOTTA Branch coming later this week, as I tell of the Western Pacific's grand plan to extend it considerably!! Til then.. Cheers.
