No. 80-95.-The charm of a trip along the “Shasta Route"
of the Southern Pacific Railroad, often termed "The Road
of a Thousand Wonders,” is recognized by the traveled
world. It offers a succession of grandeur and scenic beauty
unexcelled by any railroad trip in America.
San Francisco, the starting point of this journey, is the
largest and best known of the cities on the Pacific Coast.
The popularity and fame of San Francisco as the site of the
great International Exposition to be held in 1915, commem-
orating the completion of the great Panama Canal, the most
wonderful achievement of modern engineering Ecience and
skill, has left hardly anyone on the American continent,
or, in fact, in the world, without some knowledge of this
city of energetic people.
From the Ferry Building, at the foot of Market Street,
the Southern Pacific Company ferry-boats take the traveler
across San Francisco Bay to Oakland Pier. The Ferry
Building, erected in 1896 at a cost of $1,000,000.00, is the
water gate of San Francisco, from which numerous ferry-
boats arrive and depart every hour of the day for various
points around the bay.
