WAITING
STATIONS
The
only regular waiting station built so far is at the Woodland
terminus. Here an important corner of the Main Street [at 2nd
Street] was purchased, the lot extending [south] through the
block to the next parallel street [Lincoln Avenue]. The station
occupies the entire front of the lot and extends along the side
street [2nd St] for about the same
distance. The track enters the station at the corner, taking a
diagonal course through the building in a sweeping curve to the
inside property line.
The
building has a gravel stucco finish and is the modified
California Mission style of architecture giving a pleasing
effect and is a distinct addition to the general appearance
of the street. On the left are the baggage and express rooms,
while on the right is the ticket office and behind it and opening
on the arcade is a commodious waiting room adjoining which to
the rear are lavatories and storerooms. The arcade is paved with
square red tile, and aside from its artistic arrangement forms
a shelter for passengers who desire to remain outside in rainy
weather.
In
the rear of the station facing the side street is a freight house
60 ft. by 30 ft. with an extended loading, platform. The yard,
which is 418 ft. long and 113 ft. wide, contains eight tracks
with a total capacity for about 30 cars.
