    Panama Canal Railway Coordinates: 8.97702°N 79.56773°W From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Panama Canal Railway is a railway line that runs parallel to the Panama Canal, linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in Central America. The Panama Canal Railway Company route stretches 47.6 miles (76.6 km) across the Isthmus of Panama from Colón (Atlantic) to Balboa (Pacific, near Panama City). It is operated by Panama Canal Railway Company (reporting mark: PCRC), which is jointly owned by Kansas City Southern and Mi-Jack Products. [2] The Panama Canal Railway currently provides both freight and passenger service. The infrastructure of this railroad (formerly named the Panama Railway or Panama Rail Road ) was of vital importance for the construction of the Panama Canal over a parallel route half a century later. The principal incentive for the building of the rail line was the vast increase in traffic to California owing to the 1849 California Gold Rush. Construction on the Panama Railroad began in 1850 and the first revenue train ran over the full length on January 28, 1855. [3] Referred to as an inter-oceanic railroad when it opened, [4] it was later also described by some as representing a "transcontinental" railroad, despite only transversing the narrow isthmus connecting the North and South American continents.[5][6][7][8] Contents 1 History of earlier isthmus crossings and plans 2 1855 Panama Railroad 2.1 Construction Current Panama Canal Railway line 2.2 Financing (interactive version)[1] 2.3 Death toll Legend 2.4 Cadaver

    NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAPTER SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS VOLUME 23, NUMBER 1 Spring 2020 Early this year, the NCCSAH board of directors began planning for a spring program to take place on May 22. We are now all well aware that hunker-down-at-home orders have upended that plan. The board decided, none- theless, to send out this newsletter, if only to maintain contact with you, the members, at this stressful time. We hold out the possibility of being able to stage this tour in the months ahead. Stay tuned. Historic Iron Works and Mid-Century Civic Center On Agenda for Spring Program in Silicon Valley xploring program options close to home, once again, NCCSAH will present a spring Eoffering, a day in May, in the city of Sunny- vale. Once a thriving agriculture center in Santa Clara County, known as “the valley of heart’s de- light”, Sunnyvale began its evolution into one of the tech centers of today’s Silicon Valley during World War II. In fact, however, heavy industry first made its appearance in the town early in the 20th century. After the 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed the San Francisco offices and foundry of the Joshua Hendy Iron Works, the company relocated its operations to land offered by the Sunnyvale Land Company. Photo: Joshua Hendy Iron Works Museum We will tour the historic iron works in the after- Wikimedia Commons noon of Friday, May 22. Due to an ongoing structural upgrade, we may be able to view the historic foundry building interior only through an entryway.

    HRER Fair Oaks Overhead Rehabilitation November 2013 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The City of Sunnyvale is undertaking the Fair Oaks Overhead Bridge Rehabilitation (Bridge No. 37C0765) in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The project will widen the bridge, improve pedestrian crossing on Fair Oaks Avenue, and redesign the intersection and traffic signals at the intersections of Fair Oaks Avenue at Kifer Road and at Evelyn Avenue. The work will occur within the current right-of-way and the areas under the bridge. The project will include construction and staging areas located under the bridge and in the parking lot of the adjacent Home Depot. The project vicinity and location are illustrated in Figure 1 in Appendix A. The Area of Potential Effect (APE) for this project is generally defined by parcels immediately adjacent to the bridge encompassing the current right-of-way and proposed staging areas. See Appendix A, Figure 2 for a map of the APE. Those properties requiring evaluation are identified in Figure 3 Appendix A and given Map Reference numbers for identification. JRP Historical Consulting, LLC (JRP) prepared this Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) to address the built environment within the APE. Two buildings, the residence at 303 Fair Oaks Avenue and Blue Bonnet Bar 208 S Fair Oaks Avenue, required formal evaluation (Map Ref #1 and #2). The Fair Oaks Overhead Bridge (37C0765) was constructed in 1967, and is 45 years old (Map Ref #3). Caltrans guidance states that properties 45 years or older should be evaluated to accommodate the long planning and design process for transportation projects.

  • 7. DESCRIPTI0N SUMMARY PARAGRAPH the 1944 Victory Ship RED OAK VICTORY Was Built in Richmond, California, at Kaiser Shipyard #1
    7. DESCRIPTI0N SUMMARY PARAGRAPH The 1944 Victory ship RED OAK VICTORY was built in Richmond, California, at Kaiser Shipyard #1 and launched on November 9, 1944. The ship's World War II, US Maritime Commission designation of VC2-S-AP2 indicates she is a "V" for "Victory", "C2" for medium capacity cargo carrier, "S" for "steam", and "AP2" for the 6,000 shaft horsepower type of Victory. Now moored at Terminal One at the Port of Richmond, she is currently undergoing rehabilitation. The RED OAK VICTORY possesses all seven of the National Register's aspects of integrity. It will be home-berthed in an appropriate waterfront setting, within view of where it was built in Richmond, California, retaining its integrity of location, setting and association. Regarding integrity of design, modifications to the interior and exterior space have been minimal, consisting mainly of removal of wartime guns, conversion of crew quarters from metal pipe bunks of six per room to wooden berths of two per room, and addition of radar and radio equipment over 22 years' post-war service as a merchant ship. From 1968 to 1998 the RED OAK VICTORY was preserved in the "mothball" fleet at Suisun Bay, thus its integrity of material is exceptionally high. The rehabilitation efforts primarily involve surface improvements and cleaning and overhauling of equipment, which also retains integrity of workmanship. The excellent condition of the RED OAK VICTORY insures that the vessel conveys a superb sense of the past and will provide an invaluable site for interpreting the period of significance. Plans are to restore the RED OAK VICTORY to fully operational condition, reflecting the period of significance, 1944 - 1946.The ship will be a primary center of interpretation for the “Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historic Park.” As such, it will feature fully restored elements from the period of significance as well as museum space and event facilities for public use where the public can experience as well as see this historic artifact.

It may seem strange today to realize that in 1947 the Santa Clara County Chamber of Commerce was attempting to entice major smokestack industries to move their plant sites into the Santa Clara Valley by placing full-page advertisements in nationally distributed magazines, featuring an artist's fantasy of an industrial complex with seventeen (count them) smoke- stacks —each one belching a choreographed plume of thick black smoke. 2 Images on file at the Smith-Layton Archive, Sourisseau Academy for State and Local History February 2016 Sourisseau [19] Sunshine, Fruit and Flowers.

  • Cultural Heritage of Sunnyvale (Study Issue)
    NO: 12-239 Council Date: October 16, 2012 SUBJECT: 2012-7115 - Cultural Heritage of Sunnyvale (Study Issue) REPORT IN BRIEF Since the 1970s the City has transitioned to a highly diverse community. As different ethnic groups locate in the City, they add to Sunnyvale’s story and character. Concerns have been expressed that much of Sunnyvale’s history focuses on European immigrants, without acknowledging other cultural and ethnic groups that are an important part of Sunnyvale’s character. This study examines available historical information about additional cultural and ethnic groups. City staff met with the Heritage Preservation Commission and the Human Relations and Cultural Diversity Committee to discuss additional sources of historical information and ideas about moving forward. Staff finds that while there is good information about cultural and ethnic history in Sunnyvale, more can be done to publicize this information and collect additional histories. Staff is recommending that the City Council: Accept a context statement that publishes known research of Sunnyvale history; Acknowledge the newly-launched Sunnyvale Heritage website that aggregates links to books, podcasts, videos and other resources on Sunnyvale’s history and cultural richness; and Direct staff and the Heritage Preservation Commission to continue to make a special effort to reach out to cultural and ethnic groups for the ongoing Sunnyvale Voices digital history program. More recent immigrants to Sunnyvale can also contribute to the digital history which will provide legacy information for future residents to understand the cultural history and diversity of the community. BACKGROUND The Heritage Preservation Commission identified a need to research and publicize the cultural heritage of the City of Sunnyvale.

August 15 marks the 70th anniversary of V-J Day — the Japanese surrender and the official end of World War II. Stories of the European and Pacific Theatres of that war are often told and well known — so we’ll focus, instead, on the war as it was experienced on the Home Front, including the Santa Clara Valley, where a few aged veterans may still recall the bold, bovine, insignia of San Jose’s Food Machinery Company, riveted to the control panel of each of the amphibious tanks in which they blasted their way through enemy fire, onto heavily fortified Pacific Islands. 2 Images on file at the Smith-Layton Archive, Sourisseau Academy for State and Local History August 2015 Sourisseau [84] 1920s Del Monte’s Roman Plunge.
