From left, emeritus tour guide Kay Norman; Bobbie Landers, chair of the Historical Landmarks Committee; Drew Taplin, Orinda Planning Technician; and Alison Byrns, and Tania de Groot, members of the Historic Landmarks Committee. The train station, which is the last remaining station of the California and Nevada Railroad line that linked Emeryville to Orinda, was restored and relocated to Bates Boulevard and Davis Road in 2001. The station was presented to the city by the deLaveaga family in 1999. - Sora O'Doherty
