Description
Sacramento's Western Pacific Railroad passenger depot, at 1904 J Street, sits prominently in this circa 1915 postcard. Built in 1909, the Mission-style structure was designed by the Chicago-based architect Daniel Burnham and constructed for 30,000 dollars. Steaming through the left side of the card is Western Pacific ten-wheeler locomotive Number 92.
