Rogue River Valley Railroad Depot - Jacksonville, Oregon - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

This building served as Jacksonville's railroad depot for the Rogue River Valley Railroad from 1891-1925. The line originally extended 5 1/2 miles between Medford (and a connection with the Southern Pacific Railroad) and Jacksonville. By 1915, the line had been extended another three miles into the forests around Jacksonville. The line was sold to the Southern Oregon Traction Company in 1915 and became and electric line. The line was sold back to the R.R.V.R.R. in 1919 and shortly after was sold again and renamed the Medford-Coast Railroad. The line was abandoned in 1925. Today the depot building serves as a visitor's information center. Several nearby markers describe the history of the railroad and this depot.
