SF & SJ Question
I received the following message yesterday from Cathy Reinhard who is working on a commemorative panel for the Colma Creek Bridge in South San Francisco. This is a stone bridge dating to the original San Francisco and San Jose Railroad. The only thing I can think of is typeface naming the railroad found on an early shipping receipts of which I have a copy. Possibly the star found on the smokebox door of some of the early SF&SJ engines (although this was probably found on locomotives of many lines of that era). Any other ideas for graphics?

We are in phase two of planning these interpretive panels, and I was wondering if you knew whether the SF&SJ had a logo? I am looking for graphic material for the panel.

State Archives holds the SF & SJ alignment & other maps, probably some correspondence as well. Perhaps there's something appropriate on those? Been far too long since I used them for me to remember for sure....

I sent her reference jpegs of Houseworth from the Society of California Pioneers and Muybridge from Bancroft:
Houseworth 1561 and 1562 of 4-4-0 #11
Muybridge 266 of SF&SJ depot, 267 of a 4-4-0 at depot, 268 of 4-4-0 "San Mateo" and train, as on Kneiss facing pg 47 bottom
I'd welcome references to other sources online.
