West Berkeley had a lot of fairly heavy industry in the past. Many of the plants used railroads extensively.

The Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association has articles on some of the architecturally significant plants, for example.

Also, Berkeley had several electric passenger railroad lines thanks to Key System and Southern Pacific (the Interurban Electric Railroad was an SP subsidiary). Some of those lines were in west Berkeley.

Trivia question - what is the railroad heritage of Weatherford BMW's facility at the foot of Ashby avenue?
