Following are lists printed in The Oakland Tribune of passengers arriving on the overland trains, which terminated in Oakland. Locations listed after names are places of residence. I have attempted to standardize the punctuation where it clarifies the transcriptions, otherwise the names portions are direct transcriptions of the lists. I have abbreviated the introductory text to each listing.
