Railroad Historian Fred Codoni will present a program entitled "The Northwestern Pacific Railroad in the 1950s" at San Rafael's Whistlestop on Thursday, July 18. Codoni was employed by the Northwestern Pacific in the 1950s and took hundreds of photographs depicting the railroad in its heyday as a freight hauler. Included will be pictures of the transition from steam to diesel power, the demise of the overnight passenger train, the inauguration of the three-times-a-week streamlined Redwood, several disastrous wrecks and much more.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m., with the program starting at 8. Refreshments will be served. There is no charge, although donations are welcome.

The Whistlestop is in the old NWP Depot between 4th & 3rd Streets in San Rafael.
