The Medford Southern Pacific Railroad Passenger Depot is a former rail station located in Medford, Oregon listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The first station in Medford, located between 8th and Main, was constructed by the Oregon and California Railroad in 1883 as the temporary terminal until the road could be completed over Siskiyou Pass. It was replaced by a new station slightly to the south in 1900. The original depot building was loaded onto three flatcars over two days in June and transported to Talent, where it was repurposed as that town's station.[2]
Southern Pacific selected the location for a new station for Medford in January 1910; it would be located two blocks north of the city's former depot.[3] The modern station opened to the public on October 28.[4] The 1900-built station was moved further south and repurposed as a freight depot. Passenger service ended in 1955.[5]
The 1910-built station building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1996.
