Drawbridge

Drawbridge, once a thriving hunting village, is now a forgotten ghost town, trapped in the marshlands of San Francisco Bay. It was created by the South Pacific Coast Railroad in 1876 and consisted of one small cabin for the operator of the railroad’s two drawbridges. The drawbridges, however, were removed long ago, leaving only the Union Pacific Railroad track as the only path leading into the abandoned town. In the 1880s, on weekends nearly 1,000 visitors flocked to the town. By the 1920s, although the town had no roads, it did have 90 buildings, and was divided into two neighborhoods: the predominantly Roman Catholic South Drawbridge, and the predominantly Protestant North Drawbridge.
