The Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railroad was a 600 volt DC electric interurban railway〔Demoro 1986 p.15〕 in Sonoma County, California, United States. It operated between the cities of Petaluma, Sebastopol, Forestville, and Santa Rosa. A company-owned steamboat provided service between Petaluma and San Francisco. Portions of the original right-of-way have been acquired by the County for the West County Trail, a facility managed by the Sonoma County Regional Parks Department.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=West County and Joe Rodota Trails )〕 A portion of the original right-of-way can be found along the waterfront in Petaluma. There are plans to re-activate this line to become a trolley line once again. ==Timeline== * 1888-1891: Predecessor horsecar lines built in Petaluma and Santa Rosa. * 1903: Petaluma & Santa Rosa Railway incorporated. * 1903: Paddle-wheel steamer ''Gold'' purchased. * 1904: Railway built and opened between Petaluma, Sebastopol, and Santa Rosa. * 1910: Steamer ''Resolute'' purchased and renamed ''Petaluma''. * 1913: Branch opened to Two Rock. * 1914: Steamer ''Petaluma'' burns, is rebuilt. * 1920: Steamer ''Gold'' burns. * 1925: Passenger service discontinued on the Two Rock Branch.〔Borden 1960 p.24〕 * 1927: New passenger and freight depot built in Santa Rosa.〔Borden 1960 p.25〕 * 1928: Petaluma & Santa Rosa purchased by Northwestern Pacific Railroad. * 1931: Santa Rosa line dismantled from McDonald Avenue to Olive Street.〔Borden 1960 p.26〕 * 1933: All trolley passenger service discontinued. * 1935: Steamer ferry passenger service discontinued.〔 * 1946: Santa Rosa line dismantled from Olive Street to Stop 45 junction with Northwestern Pacific Railroad.〔 * 1946-1947: Electric locomotives replaced by diesels. * 1947: Santa Rosa line dismantled from Stop 45 to Leddy junction with Northwestern Pacific Railroad.〔Borden 1960 pp.26 & 31〕 * 1950: Steamer ''Petaluma'' sold. * 1952: Two Rock branch dismantled. * 1961: Forestville line shortened by to Ross.〔Stindt 1985 p.129〕 * 1962-1966: Southern Pacific Railroad diesel locomotives replace the last Petaluma and Santa Rosa locomotive.〔 * 1969: Forestville line shortened by another mile to Sagu.〔 * 1973: Eight miles of track abandoned between Denman and Turner.〔 * 1978: Four more miles of track abandoned between Turner and Alten.〔 * 1984-1989: Line from Santa Rosa to Sebastopol abandoned.
