1889 drawing of Livermore.
Blacksmith Square in just below center, where the smaller of the buildings marked "63", and the tiny building with smoke coming out is located.
"63" is labeled as "Livermore Warehouse Co. Warehouses"
Only the SP railroad tracks existed at that time, which are south of Blacksmith square.
The WP railroad tracks (at the current track location) was Oak Street at the time, which is visible at the bottom right corner.
