"Built in 1880, Felton Depot and Station were the second largest train-changing facilities in the San Lorenzo Valley after Boulder Creek Station, and was the most important waypoint along the South Pacific Coast's Mountain Route between Vasona Junction and Santa Cruz, 73.4 miles south of San Francisco via Alameda Point.
Today, the smallest of the depot houses and the original station house survive within the Roaring Camp & Big Trees Railroad property, the majority of which was once Big Trees Ranch. When Roaring Camp first opened in 1964, it used the old station house and depot for its headquarters, as seen above. The new station house build beside the tracks within the Roaring Camp town were built around 1970 and the entire theme park's center moved with it, leaving the old station and depot to the dust. Both original buildings can be viewed from Graham Hill Road behind the entrance sign to the park." (
