"Constructed in 1915 in Mission style, the depot's striking porticoes and long platform have been preserved as reminders of the city's early romance with the railway system. The Central Pacific Railroad started in the city of Modesto in 1870, gaining control of Southern Pacific in 1884. This facility now serves as the city's transportation center." (visit link)
