Transportation
The Santa Clara Depot, built in 1864, was an original waystation on the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Line. Originally built on the east side of the tracks, the depot was moved in 1877 to its present location so it would be on the same side of the tracks as the city and the university. It is the oldest passenger depot still in use in California. The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 28, 1985, and was restored in 1986 by South Bay Historical Railroad Society.
