ALMOST ALL THE TRAINS
NOW RUNNING ON TIME
That conditions in San Francisco an6
vicinity are rapidly becoming normal
is evidenced by the fact that nearly all
railroad trains are being operated on
regular schedule.
In addition to train being operated
to San Jose, Del Monte and Santa
( Cruz, trains leave the Third and Town
send street station for Tres Pinos daily
| at $3.50 p. M, and for Los Gatos daily
| Except Sunday at p. m. Inbound
trains arrive from Tres Pinos at 1885
a. N. and from Los Gatos at 9 a. m.
The narrow gauge line between San
ia Cruz, Glenwood and Boulder Greek
is now conveniently served by several
daily trains. Passengers en- route to
points on this line can leave Third and
Townsend streets at a. IN. or 3 p. m,
or leave the Ferry station at a. M,
making direct connection through to
destination via Pajaro and Santa Cruz.
Returning trains arrive at Third and
Townsend streets at 12:15 p. m. and
4:30 p. M, and at the Ferry station at
11:58 a. m. (the Coaster). Passengers
from these narrow gauge points can al
so make connection with through trains
for points on the Coast line, Los
Angeles and the East, at Pajaro.
In view of existing conditions the
Southern Pacific Company has instruct
ed it's agents that the same rates apply
to narrow gauge points, via Pajaro and
Santa Cruz, as were in effect when
fra orb n
Santa Cruz, Wrights, etc.
The regular schedule of local trains
from Third and Townsend streets will
be resumed as soon as equipment is
released from other service and water
is supplied, which will probably be IN
the course of few days.
For the sake of convenience through
trains to Los Angeles, via the Coast
line, will continue to be operated from
Oakland pier in connection with regu-
lar ferry service. This condition, how
ever, is temporary, and as soon as
street car service to Third and Town
send streets is in operation trains will
start from that point.
