Sunol’s antique train depot offers a glimpse into California’s railroad history. Built in 1885, the picturesque wood-framed depot served the South Pacific Coast Railroad and the rail line connecting San Francisco to San Jose. Passenger and freight trains regularly stopped at Sunol until the 1940s. The depot fell into disrepair over the ensuing decades as railroad transportation declined. Thankfully, in 2000, the depot was restored to its former glory. Today, visitors have the opportunity to ride on this historic railway on select weekends throughout the year. Interpretive signs detail the depot’s place in Sunol’s development. Whether you’re a train enthusiast or history buff, the depot lets you imagine an era when rail travel shaped Sunol’s growth.
