A narrow gauge North Pacific Coast Railroad train derailed by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake in front of the Point Reyes Hotel.

Note the three link and pin coupler pockets on the locomotive pilot; this locomotive was equipped to shunt both narrow and standard gauge cars. In 1907 the North Pacific Coast Railroad was sold to the North Shore Railroad which soon became Northwestern Pacific Railroad.
