The company completed a line between Bay Point and Oakland in 1913.
Meanwhile, the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern Railway was incorporated in 1911 to build a line from Bay Point to Sacramento. this company leased the Oakland & Antioch Railway and completed the line to Sacramento in 1913.
In 1920, the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern Railway was reorganized as the San Francisco-Sacramento Railroad Company.
