The Mount Tamalpais & Muir Woods Railway was a scenic tourist railway operating between Mill Valley and the east peak of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California, covering a distance of , with a spur line to the Muir Woods. The railroad was incorporated in January 1896, and closed in the summer of 1930.〔Wurm & Graves (1954)〕 Originally planned as a standard gauge electric trolley line, the railroad was powered by a succession of geared steam locomotives.〔Wurm & Graves (1954), p. 21.〕 Billed as the "Crookedest Railroad in the World," the line was renowned for its steep and serpentine route, winding through picturesque terrain to a mountaintop tavern providing first class hospitality and striking views of the San Francisco Bay Area.〔Wurm & Graves (1954), p. 12.〕 Despite its popularity, the railway met its demise following a fire in 1929,〔Runner (2009), at 119.〕 and dwindling ridership when the automobile could finally drive to Tamalpais' summit.〔Runner (2009), at 105.〕
