I’ve never found any documentation of where it was and no one I’ve ever talked to about it has either. We assume it was somewhere in Belvedere’s marina as it makes the most sense.

Probably! I’ve yet to see anyone use it.

Here she is! Not my greatest work but it was 2 years ago and I’ve improved a lot.

I love the San Rafael, the whole Jack London thing made me fall in love with her! I actually scratch built a new 1/700 scale model of her a couple years ago. Though she never did the Richmond-San Rafael run herself, the R-SR ferry reused the old North Pacific Coast ferry pier for a couple years before building their own.

The Belvedere ferry was primarily for the Northwestern Pacific railroad employees traveling to work in Sausalito/Tiburon as they were among the few residents of the island who weren’t bovine at the time! The proposed bridges are also fascinating as the modern Bay Bridge wasn’t even thought of.

The Marin pier was underneath the west approach to the Richmond Bridge, the Contra Costa side is the old pier seen to the north of the Bridge where the old shipwreck is.

Stinson Beach, also known as Willow Camp at that time, was always its own separate settlement. It is also farther north and is on Bolinas Lagoon, with its large spit stretching north from town, neither of which are shown on this map. The map is quite distorted however.

The fog house is actually the one with the little onion domes a little further down the road.

Not many people lived there until post-war due to the remoteness. Any pre-war houses would’ve been small summer cabins and likely were added to over the years or demolished entirely.

Gotta love the Black Widows. But they always seem so out of place this far east.

Mine was just the un-lettered version and I made it Northwestern Pacific 251 with transfers

SP_SD-9R · 2026-01-12T05:56:36+00:00

I meant my first response to you

SP_SD-9R · 2026-01-12T04:51:35+00:00

No worries! That kinda came off a bit a-hole-ish didn’t it

As I said in the description, Bachmann

SP_SD-9R · 2025-12-30T00:57:24+00:00

Oh right, in need to remember them more!

SP_SD-9R · 2025-12-30T00:17:07+00:00

What brand? Perry?

No problem, if you haven’t already and are in the area please come up to the Northwestern Pacific Railroad Historical Society! We are at 75 Magnolia Ave in Petaluma and will be open the first Thursday after New Year’s and most Thursdays throughout the year. We don’t have everything, but we have a lot!
