Title supplied by cataloger. The Southern Pacific Railroad built the Arcade Station in 1885 in competition against Santa Fe Railroad. It replaced the adobe house of William Wolfskill and its surrounding orange grove, the largest in Southern California. The station was demolished in 1914 and replaced with the Central Station, a larger and more modern railroad passenger depot. It, too, was later demolished. Southern Pacific steam engine no. 1364 heads the train at the Arcade Station at Alameda between 4th and 5th St.
