Drawbridge
is an abandoned hunting village located at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay, in unincorporated Alameda County. It has been a ghost town since 1979.
Drawbridge was created by the narrow-gauge South Pacific Coast Railroad on Station Island in 1876 and consisted of one small cabin for the operator of the railroad's two drawbridges; crossing Mud Creek Slough and Coyote Creek Slough to connect Newark with Alviso and San Jose. There would be 10 passenger trains that stopped there per day. Five going north and five going south. The drawbridges were removed long ago. The only road leading into this town is the Southern Pacific Railroad track.
