Covers all the interurban and streetcar lines in the Bay Area around 1940. Also includes the SN all the way to Sacramento, because why not?
The SN line between San Francisco and Pittsburg is (to my knowledge) mostly accurate; it's based on various maps, aerials, and photos.
Everything else is largely guesswork, since most of the track disappeared 80+ years ago.
Other notes:
- "Detour" isn't actually a detour: it's the name of a station. In fact, the timetable defined the Detour route as the "default" one.
- I have absolutely no idea where any of the streetcar stops were; stations are mostly just placed at major intersections (or every block in downtown areas).
To do:
- Finish the San Francisco streetcar lines
- Finish the Key System lines (there's a whole streetcar system there as well)
- Fill in some stations on the SN Woodland Branch
- (Maybe) do the rest of the SN up to Chico?
