Coyote station
Rail station in California, US, 1869–1959 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coyote station was a railroad depot in Coyote, California, United States. Established in 1869, the station was part of the Southern Pacific Railroad's first line connecting San José and Gilroy. Located in the heart of the Coyote Valley, the depot took its name from the Coyote Creek and explorer Juan Bautista de Anza who referred to the area as "Arroyo del Coyote." The train station was in use until the cancellation of the train route in 1959. Recently, in May 2024, Coyote station was relocated to History Park at Kelley Park in San José. The building will be restored and made into a transportation museum.
