Snarky Old Fart (in training)
My Google Fu is failing me.
For an upcoming mystery story, I'm trying to plot out how something would get from the Civil War Southern states (probably Texas) into California.
But, without the transcontinental, I can't locate any lines coming into So-Cal in the early 1860s
Anyone have suggestions on lines to look up?
And a corollary - were there any lines operating N-S through the lower end of the central valley in the 1860s-80s? I've found the California Southern up through Cajon Pass, but that line was built a little later than I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help!
