Pacifica Railcar Restoration Rebuilds History
A project of the Pacifica Historical Society needs the help of woodworking artisans this weekend.
An authentic railcar that sat decaying for years in a Sonoma County backyard now calls Pacifica its home. And volunteers are bringing it back to life.
Car 1409, the last remaining passenger car of the Ocean Shore Railroad, is being refurbished at a location just off San Pedro Terrace, across from the Linda Mar Care Center.
The Pacifica Historical Society took possession of 1409 just a few years back. "It was in the backyard of a residence in Sebastopol," says Jerry Crow, treasurer of the PHS. "It was being used as a garden shed, and they wanted to improve the backyard and put up a gazebo, so it was in the way. The resident let us take it away for free. He was glad to get it out of there."
