Description
This photograph of Sacramento's waterfront, between roughly J Street to M Street, was taken in circa 1906. In August of 1906, the Southern Pacific Railroad was in the process of expanding its wharf facilities toward M Street as well as adding a freight platform. By the end of the month, the railroad and the City became entangled over building rights, with Southern Pacific having built into a section of waterfront reserved and owned by the City. In time, the City relented and Southern Pacific built well past its original M Street boundary.
