2019 Lecture Series 1: Arrival of the Transcontinental Railroad - with Dennis Evanosky & Eric Kos

Starts: 7:00 pm

Ends: Thursday, April 25th, 2019 - 8:30 pm

Location: Elks Lodge, 2255 Santa Clara Ave, Alameda, CA 94501, USA

Description:
ARRIVAL OF THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD
with DENNIS EVANOSKY & ERIC KOS

Join Dennis Evanosky and Eric J. Kos as they explore Alameda’s role in the September 6, 1869, arrival of the transcontinental railroad on A.A. Cohen’s San Francisco & Alameda Railroad. Discover the part that the “Curse of Dead Cow Curve” (if you believe in curses) may have played in stopping the transcontinental trains from running through Niles Canyon and onto San Jose and into San Francisco. Dennis and Eric will tell of the shenanigans that led to the 1882 murder of the man who some say placed the curse on the Western Pacific Railroad’s 1866 attempt to traverse today’s Nile’s Canyon. Sponsor: Evelyn Kennedy, Alain Pinel Realtors, & Alameda Museum Board Member.

Doors open at 6:30. Parking Available in the back!
