All aboard for a step back in time on Thursday, February 28th at the Marin Museum of Bicycling. Join us for The Days of Trains in Marin, an illustrated talk by historian Fred Codoni. Codoni has photographed local railroading for decades, and has amassed a collection of over 15,000 photographs, including many from the 19th century.

Codoni developed this presentation for the museum with a focus on local railroad connections with cycling history. It will include images from Sausalito and Tiburon ferries up into West Marin and Petaluma, and from the Mt. Tamalpais Railway. Joe Breeze, Curator of Marin Museum of Bicycling, will contribute cycling images and information.
