The Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railway, operational for 81 years, uniquely combined modern electric technology with steamboats to transport fresh produce, earning Petaluma the title "the egg basket of the world." Established in 1903, it provided vital rail service to a fertile agricultural region, even supporting notable figures like botanist Luther Burbank. Despite challenges like the 1906 earthquake and competition from larger railroads and trucks, it persisted until its closure in 1984. Plans for a tourist trolley on part of the remaining tracks have emerged.
