Aug 22 Program-  Santa Clara's Interurban Railway

Ray Coysn is a resident of Saratoga and after retiring from tech he went back to school and obtained a Masters Degree from San Jose State in American History. His passion is railroad history. He will regale us about the  wonders of the Peninsular Interurban. We will hear about this electric interurban which knit together the major towns of the South Bay. Ray will take you back to a time when the car was in its infancy. A better way other than horseback, was needed in order to get from town to town.  Something had to be done to bring the little villages into the 20^th century and as you will find that something was The Big Red , the Peninsular Interurban fast , clean and never on time.
