Historic Note:
The Central Pacific Railroad Company (CPRR) partnered with the Union Pacific Railroad to build a transcontinental railway across America. It was completed on May 10, 1869. The CPRR was more than just a railway company it operated and leased steamships as well from the 1860s through the 1880s. The CPRR steamships facilitated the movement of freight and equipment over river, delta and numerous San Francisco Bay routes in Northern California including Sacramento to San Francisco. The Steamer Solano was one of the largest paddle-wheel steamers, over 400 feet in length. The Solano could move train engines and freight cars as well as passengers. [Harris, Robert L.
