Terminals and Stations
The first Sacramento interurban terminal (for Northern Electric Ry) was at Eighth and J Streets. Sacramento's final interurban terminal was on I Street between 11th and 12th. This was called Union Station and served both SN and the Central California Traction. The terminal at Woodland (close to the Woodland Opera House) was unusual in that the interurban cars swung around behind it, loaded passengers, then emerged through an arch in the station wall to re-enter the street. This terminal was close to the Woodland Opera House, a unique facility for such a small town.

Famous quotes containing the word stations:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
