Talk:San Francisco and Alameda Railroad

Railroad and Wharf earlier than 1864
While it may be true that the SF and Alameda was incorporated as indicated, both appear on an official Coast Survey map dated 1859. (https://www.davidrumsey.com/maps6080.html) It seems that the railroad and wharf were already up and running by 1859 even though the railroad wasn't yet incorporated.

 * Looking at a number of other sources, I think I have an explanation for that 1859 map. It's a copy on the Rumsey website and I'm guessing that it may have been used as a working map by its original owners who probably added the lines of the Oakland and Alameda railroads and their respective wharves at a later date.Tmangray (talk) 04:46, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
