Interesting question. I have been driving through Jenner for more than 60 years and have never heard of any railroad that reached Jenner. If any ever did, how would it reach the area? Would it come along the Russian River from inland? Everything north of Jenner is too rugged to have ever permitted the building of a railroad.
Was there ever any railroad to Cazedero? Cazedero had sawmills. If a railroad came down the river from inland, it could have reached Cazedero by following Austin Creek from where it runs into the Russian River. This is a few miles before the river reaches Jenner.
