Folsom Depot is a former train station in Folsom, California.
The station site was established as the eastern terminal of the Sacramento Valley Railroad. The rail yard and initial station layout were engineered by Theodore Judah. Service began on February 22, 1856, as the first passenger railroad in the state. [1]
After a series of acquisitions and mergers, the facility came under the ownership of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The railroad constructed a new station building by 1906. The depot was wired for electricity in 1909 and in 1916 the second story was added. Fire damage in 1924 and 1930 was repaired with minor alterations.
The property, minus the turntable stands, were donated to the City of Folsom in 1970. In 1972, Ashland Station building of the Sacramento, Placer, and Nevada Railroad was moved to the site.
