Sierra Rwy

First Sierra Rwy train arrives at outskirts of City of Sonora depot, pushing on later to Tuolumne to reach the timber investments of Bullock & the Crockers. Sonora rejects Sierra Rwy plan to operate down Washington St. to reach Columbia marble quarry; Sierra Rwy owners consider spur to Columbia off the future line to Angels Camp
