In October of 1989 the San Francisco Bay Area was hit with a 7.0 earthquake. This quake forever changed the Bay Area, and many of its neighborhoods. Some of these neighborhoods have yet to recover. One of the casualties was the historic Southern Pacific Railroad Station located in West Oakland. The Loma Prieta Earthquake damaged the station to the point where it was no longer safe to use. With the way politics are in California the money to repair the station was approximately twenty years down the road. During February a friend and I paid a visit to the place...Time had stood still for almost nineteen years.
