You're currently standing over the Union Pacific (formerly Southern Pacific) railroad yard. It was positioned here to meet the transportation needs of the many factories that used to surround the area. Emeryville has a long history as a transportation and railway hub, and even gets it’s name from the railroad magnate, Joseph Stickney Emery, who was a major landholder in the city.
