The old deLaveaga Train Station is located right across from the Flying Gasoline gas station in downtown Orinda.
From a sign in front:
This building is the only remaining station of the California & Nevada Railroad. The C&N, a narrow-gauge line constructed in 1890, ran 23 miles between Emeryville and Orinda hauling farm produce and pasengers. The first train steamed into Orinda in 1891.

Investors had big plans for this little railroad; it was originally intended to run from EMeryville via Sonora Pass to Bodie and on to COlorado for conection with the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad.
