The Central Pacific Railroad Depot is a former rail station located in Oakland, California on 7th Street west of Broadway. Originally serving as the western terminal of the San Francisco and Oakland Railroad, the Central Pacific Railroad chose the line as the final link of their transcontinental route and acquired the line and station in 1869.[2] Southern Pacific further acquired the line in 1885, and most traffic was rerouted to the 16th Street station when that facility opened in 1912. In 1939, Mi Rancho Tortilla Facrory opened in the converted station. The building was evaluated for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, however was deemed unlikely to qualify due to changes on the facade.[3]
