The Central California Traction Company was founded on August 7, 1905, as an alternative city streetcar line to the Stockton Electric Railroad. The company soon had greater ambitions and became an electric interurban railway, opening a line from Stockton to Lodi in 1907, and reaching Sacramento by 1910. In 1928, the railroad was sold by the original owners and was then jointly purchased by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Western Pacific Railroad. The railroad operated over the same line from Stockton to Sacramento until 1998 when service between Lodi and Sacramento was suspended. Currently the line between Stockton and Sacramento is being kept for future operational options. (Excerped from Wikipedia)
