Mission Trains. CHOO! CHOO!
The train set a speed record: The first full-sized steam locomotive produced in the state of California, an American 4-4-0, was built for the SF&SJRR by the Union Iron Works in San Francisco. It was appropriately named the “California”. Its inaugural run was August 30, 1865, during which it set a speed record of 67 mph (107 km/h). Today, 144 years later, Caltrain’s top speed today is...

Morgan: we had some crazy cat lady consign a lot of art covered with cat hair and piss
