Louise Fraser was born in 1913 in Pomona, California. In 1925, her father became a conductor on the Key System – one of several rail lines providing service around the Bay Area. The Key System would soon expand its network as a part of the newly constructed Bay Bridge, which featured rail lines for trains on the lower deck. During the celebration in honor of the dual opening of the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge, Fraser represented the city of Oakland on a parade float. Enrolled as a student at the University of California, Berkeley at the time of bridge construction, she was selected to represent Industry alongside other co-eds symbolically representing Culture and Education. In this interview, Fraser not only describes her personal experiences as they related to the construction of the bridge, she discusses the many changes in transportation witnessed by the Bay Area between the 1920s and the post-World War II era.
