I think you can just still make out the route of the rail spur to the west of Central Avenue, even though the building on the corner of 2nd Street wasn't built until sometime after 1994.
Here's the area on the 1921 Baist map. Alameda is the street with "Southern Pacific" written along it. Follow Alameda to the right and that's north on this map.

The spur route is still easy to see on this 1948 aerial.
