San Jose to Alum Rock Park, CA

This short passenger operation connected the city of San Jose with Alum Rock Park, to its east. It began carrying passengers to and from the park in 1896, after several prior attempts failed, and was then known as the Alum Rock Railway.

In its final days, it was operated by the Peninsular Railway, a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The line was shuttered a couple of years after the stock market crash of 1929.
