Location

Oakland station was a major intercity railway station which was located in Emeryville, California, intended to serve the nearby cities of Oakland and San Francisco. The station was located at the corner of 40th Street and San Pablo Avenue,^[1] adjacent to a Key System interurban stop.^[2] It was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway when their Valley Division was extended from Richmond. Passengers would transfer to transbay buses here, connecting them to San Francisco.

The Santa Fe's original Northern California terminal was Ferry Point. Construction of a high-quality depot was one of the conditions set forth by the city for the ATSF to build through Oakland.^[3] It opened on May 16, 1904.^[3]

Passenger service was cut back to Richmond after June 15, 1958, ending service at the station.^[4]

The station site was sold to developers in 1990 and was rebuilt as a shopping center.^[5]
