History
The Central Pacific Railroad as built through Modesto in 1870, and was taken over by the Southern Pacific in 1884. In 1915, the Southern Pacific Railroad built a new Mission Revival station. It was used until 1971, when Amtrak took over intercity passenger service.[1] When Amtak restored service to Modesto with the San Joaquin in 1974, the former Santa Fe station in Riverbank was used instead. (It was replaced with the modern Modesto station in 1999).[1]
The depot was restored in 1993 as a bus terminal. Rail service is expected to be restored in 2023 with the Altamont Corridor Express extension to Ceres.[2]

gollark: English Literature is where you read books and poems and such, agonisingly slowly, and write entirely pointless essays.
gollark: No, I meant most of those things you could probably learn yourself. First aid you would likely benefit from in person teaching in but the rest is just "read the news" or "read a few pages explaining mortgages".
