Drawbridge Town Site

|
| Out in the salt ponds, along the railroad tracks, lies the fabled town of Drawbridge, a former railroad town, which became a fishing and shrimping community. The last resident left in 1979, and Drawbridge is now a collection of crumbling shacks, next to an old drawbridge. |

| Occasional tours out to Drawbridge, which can be reached by walking next to the railroad tracks from Alviso, were conducted from the visitor center of a nearby wildlife refuge, however safety and liability concerns raised by the railway, which races through town on its tracks, have put an end to this service. Visitors to Drawbridge have to do it on their own now, while trespassing on railroad land. |
