context_page_description: Haystack Landing is a historic property in Sonoma County, California, now owned by Dutra Materials. Haystack Landing was a passenger and freight connection on San Francisco Bay via the Petaluma River and San Pablo Bay. The landing is currently the site of a historic steamer dock, a railroad bridge, and of a planned asphalt production and storage facility. Haystack Landing was featured in then-congressman Frank Riggs' election campaign in the 1996 California First Congressional District race, when his ties to the property drew criticism.
context_section_description: In 2015, a railroad bridge built in 1903 was removed and replaced with a refurbished bridge that could accommodate high-speed rail traffic. The $4.2 million refurbished bridge, built in 1986, was purchased from Galveston, Texas, where it had been intended to be scrapped. 125 ft (38 m) long and weighing 2.2-million lb (1.00-million kg), the "Scherzer rolling lift bascule bridge" uses a counter-weight to raise the bridge.
