Trains first came to Tiburon in 1884 after completion of the Tiburon Trestle, and after the Northwestern Pacific Railroad was formed in 1907, Tiburon quickly became a railroad town. By 1924, four locomotives a day, some pulling as many as 25 cars, arrived to unload lumber, dairy products, and produce onto ferries crossing San Francisco Bay to the city. Tiburon also served as the region's maintenance yard, where locomotives were rebuilt and as many as 2,000 railroad cars a month were serviced or completely rebuilt. On June 29, 1913, NWPR Engine No. 112 overloaded rotted pilings and plunged into the bay, but it was repaired at the Tiburon rail yard, returned to work for another 39 years, and in 1955 was restored and exhibited at Sacramento's California Railroad Museum. In the 1950s, NWPR's Engine No. 3 was photographed steaming toward the Tiburon rail yard after a 265-mile run south from Eureka, CA, passing Meredith Linman waving from her home on Tiburon Boulevard along what is now Old Rail Trail. Shoreline Park and Point Tiburon townhomes now occupy the former rail yard.
