El Palo Alto
Nope, it's not a station, but rather, a redwood tree. Spanish explorer Don Gaspar de Portola made camp in 1769 under her bows during the first European exploration of the area. This postcard view was probably photographed shortly after SP built the steel bridge over San Francisquito Creek in 1901. The depicted southbound ("eastbound" in post-1899 SP parlance) train is about one quarter of a mile north of Palo Alto Station. The 1000+ year old tree still stands today, lusher than ever, due to the doting care of local arborists. |
