Sonoma & Santa Rosa Railroad

On March 2, 1881 the Sonoma Valley Railroad company organized a subsidiary, the Sonoma & Santa Rosa Railroad to build a line six miles north from Sonoma along Sonoma Creek to Glen Ellen. The extension opened on August 15, 1882 and, three years later, on August 7, 1885, was merged into the Sonoma Valley Railroad. The railroad carried mainly agricultural products and basalt from the Schocken Quarry.¹
