Oakland station was a major intercity railway station which was located in Emeryville, California, intended to serve the nearby cities of Oakland and San Francisco. The station was located at the corner of 40th Street and San Pablo Avenue,[1] adjacent to a Key System interurban stop.[2] It was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway when their Valley Division was extended from Richmond. Passengers would transfer to transbay buses here, connecting them to San Francisco.
