Exchange Tamalpais

The Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway was a scenic tourist railway operating from 1896 to 1930, spanning 8.19 miles from Mill Valley to the east peak of Mount Tamalpais, with an additional spur to Muir Woods. Known for its winding and steep route, it provided access to stunning views and hospitality at a mountaintop tavern, becoming popular until declining ridership and a devastating wildfire led to its closure. The railway’s unique gravity cars and its status as "the crookedest railroad in the world" contributed to its historical significance in California's transportation and tourism development.
