Vaca Valley Railroad Extension Opens
A special excursion train marked the opening of an extension of the Vaca Valley Railroad from Vacaville to the new town of Winters on August 26, 1875. The partially completed bridge over Putah Creek was designed and built by Joseph G. Young who later became a fruit rancher west of Winters. (Photo courtesy of Robert and Lavinia Young)
