Next to Tourist Bureau and the modern AMTRAK railway station is the historic building and marker from 2001, stating that:
The City of Martinez has been the home of a train station along the waterfront for 125 years. The first station (approximately 200 yards to the east of this site) was erected in 1876 and closed in 2001 when this station was opened. More than 1,000 Chinese laborers, who once lived in a tent city near this spot blasted hillsides, built tunnels and bridges, eventually connecting this line with the Oakland Ferry Wharf in 1878.
