Sacramento Valley West Side Electric Railway
- Sacramento Valley West Side Electric Railway
The Sacramento Valley West Side Electric Railway was a short-lived electric interurban railway in the U.S. State of California. [Hilton Interurbans] Originating at a connection with the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern Railway at Dixon Junction, California, the line was projected to run through Woodland to Marysville and up the Sacramento Valley, but was only built for twelve miles to the nearby town of Dixon, California. Operation began on January 1, 1915, but the population of Dixon, at approximately 1000, was too small to support an interurban service; abandonment was in August 1917, and the tracks were removed shortly thereafter.
