The Tidewater at one point had a great many structures to support its operations.  Today, only a handful remain that were associated with the road.  Prominent among them are the Stockton Hotel (where the joint CCT station was located), the Turlock Depot and the Modesto Yard Office.

This section covers the facilities the railroad needed to perform its work, from the glamour of the town depot to the lowly MOW shed.
