This is an important Southern Pacific Route called by many names, including “The Stockton – Tulare Railroad”, “The Oakdale line”, “The Oakdale – Montpelier Railroad“ and “Eastside Route.“ There were North – South bound trains daily. Passengers, wheat, cattle, equipment and new settlers were its daily cargo. From the north the train would depart Stockton. Stopping at Peters, Oakdale, Waterford, Hickman, Montpelier, Ryre, Basel (Merced River), Arundel, Amsterdam, Naira, Ferrin, and into Merced. From Merced the Reverse would be true. The Merced residents would ride the train to Basel to enjoy the recreation of the Merced River. The Shafter Bridge Built in 1912, twenty two years after the train’s trestle was erected. The route was discontinued because of the demands of World War II.
