Shafter, Marin County, California

Looks like another railroad facility mistaken for a community. Durham calls it a locality on the Northwestern Pacific RR. I don't see anything else that says it was ever a community or that it is notable in any other way. Glendoremus (talk) 01:50, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I am familiar with this area, which is in the community of Lagunitas, California adjacent to Samuel P. Taylor State Park. The name Shafter comes from James McMillan Shafter, a 19th century politician and landowner who served in the state legislatures of Vermont, Wisconsin and California. He was among the founders of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad which still exists in part. I can hear their train whistles from my house in the Napa Valley. Shafter owned 75,000 acres of land in that area. There was an unusual highway bridge called the Shafter Bridge near there and a hiking/mountain biking trail nearby is called the Shafter Trail. But I can find no evidence of a community called Shafter. Cullen328   Let's discuss it  17:51, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
