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].
