Warm Springs Slough bridge c1906 (later called Mud Slough) shown with engine and passenger cars on the span. Located on the north side of Station Island, it was one of a pair of swing drawbridges erected in 1905 to replace similar ones built by the South Pacific Coast Railroad in 1875. Photo: (Dowd) San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society.
This c1906 photo is of the old Coyote Creek bridge which is located a mile from the Warm Springs span at the opposite end of Station Island. At the time it was replaced in 1948, it hadn't opened in 15 years. Drawbridge in the 1920s was a very popular destination for duck hunting and several gun clubs had facilities there. There was also a small colony of seasonal residents as well as a couple of seasonal stores and bars. Five trains a day stopped on the island making it possible for people to reside there and travel back and fort to Alviso or beyond. Today the island is off limits to the public except for conducted tours by the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society. U.S.Coast Guard photo.
