Trains in Marin: Past and Future

Join Richard
G. Torney
, a Marin native and rail fan, in exploring the 40-year era of
green electric trains connecting Fairfax, San Rafael, San Anselmo, and Mill
Valley with a ferry terminal in Sausalito. Torney will share historic photos of
Marin trains from the 1870s–1960s and compare them with recent photos of the
same locations. This
is the third lecture of Hooked on Marin, a four-part speaker series celebrating
the region. Hooked on Marin is a community-based partnership of Marin County
public service agencies and educational districts. Each event focuses on one
aspect of what makes Marin County a unique place to live. Terry McGovern,
College of Marin Drama instructor and one of the Bay area’s most versatile
performers, will moderate the events. A limited number of seats are available. $15. http://www.hookedonmarin.com415-945-3730.
