Rails to the Past
I was surprised that the informative article by Michael R. Boldrick on Hetch Hetchy Reservoir (“Tapping Hetch Hetchy,” Weekend Escape, July 9) did not mention the railroad that brought in supplies and workers to build the dam and reservoir.
Interestingly, the present-day auto road to the dam site was built largely on the right of way of the old rails.
