The Western Pacific Depot was a train station in Oakland, California. It opened in 1910 as the western terminus of the Western Pacific Railroad, located on 3rd Street with street running tracks at the corner of Washington Street.[2] It was the last stop of the original California Zephyr,[3] and the station closed in 1970 with the end of the service. The building was subsequently sold and converted to a restaurant. In 1974, it was designated the first Oakland Designated Landmark.[4]
