- The Key System from the early years of 500s and 600s plus the ferryboat pier. See the Key’s new bridge units in their original, striking, orange and silver splendor. Also we bring supporting scenes of the IER Red Trains, Muni Railway, steam trains and the Key’s small streetcars. Ride and watch beautiful ferryboats shot on some of the first, early 16mm color film.
Watch the construction and operation of the WWII Richmond Shipyard Railway by Key’s staff. This line was built from Emeryville north to Richmond’s Kaiser Shipyards to transport thousands of workers that built 747 Victory and Liberty ships for the war. Retired IRT elevated cars were rebuilt to make long, and elderly, electric trains. This is a fascinating look at Bay Area history. Don’t miss the Key’s X-trains and ferryboats to the 1939 Golden Gate Expo. This video has many animated graphical maps made just for video clarity and better understanding of the Key’s lines, streetcar lines and the competing SP-IER electric lines in the ferry, and the later bridge era. Great synchronized sound and period music too!
I love the beautiful old Key system orange cars. Must have been a beautiful ride across the bridge into the city.
Charles, excellent video. I grew up in Richmond as did my parents and grandparents. My Dad would talk about taking the "Key" to Alameda's Neptune Beach for nickle. They, meaning my folks and grandparents always talked about Richmond in terms of, before the war and after the war. It changed everything.
East Bay Key System and Richmond Shipyard railway are history of San Francisco Bay Area are wonderful history.😊😇
Wow. Outstanding video.
Very interesting and informative.
Best thing I ever saw on the Shipyard Railway.
Thanks Charles! Awesome as always.
California has lost so much. At least we have film footage of it all.
I am constantly amazed and grateful that people took the time to record so much of the past.
What a great video on one of my favorite electric railways. I grew up along the North Shore Line near Chicago and loved those trains. The Key Route was fabulous.
One small correction: at 26.45 the aircraft carrier shown is probably USS Saratoga, CV-3. The broad stripe down the funnel was a recognition sign to distinguish Saratoga from Lexington CV-2. The "E" on the stripe is the Navy "E" for Efficiency.
What is the name of the song that played when you were explaining about the construction of the Bay Bridge?
Charles, Stege is pronounced "Stee-ge.
