Line 2:

Livermore's Southern Pacific Railroad Depot was built in 1892 on the original rail line of the transcontinental railroad[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Transcontinental_Railroad]. It served as Livermore's railroad station for decades. Although it was nearly torn down in the 1970s, it was saved by the Livermore Heritage Guild [http://www.livermorehistory.com/Who%20We%20Are/Who%20We%20Are.html] and remains in its original location[http://www.elivermore.com/photos/Hist_lvr_railroad2.htm].

On October 30 2006, the Council approved a development agreement with Anderson Pacific to build houses on the land occupied by the depot[http://24.104.72.12/weblink8/0/doc/32602/Page1.aspx].  Though the development failed, efforts have continued to move the depot, establish a viable plan to restore and operate it, and consider other types of development on the depot site. A $2.5 Million federal grant was obtained to move it to a nearby transportation hub and put it into transportation related use. Livermore also plans to spend $500,000 of general fund money to complete the budget[http://m.independentnews.com/news/need-to-move-historic-train-depot-questioned/article_ab9a546e-64d7-11e6-b2b1-8f892beaf4ed.html?mode=jqm].
