A TIME CAPSULE WAS UNEARTHED THIS WEEK AT the OLD WATSONVILLE JUNCTION DEPOT. The SMALL COPPER BOX CONTAINED RAILWAY PASSES, BUSINESS CARDS FROM INFLUENTIAL BUSINESS OWNERS AND RESIDENTS, AND OTHER BITS OF MEMORABILIA. THE CAPSULE WAS CREATED 62 YEARS AGO, WHEN THE THEN-NEW RAILROAD DEPOT WAS DEDICATED.
The NOW-UN-USED DEPOT, WHICH WAS ONCE A HUB FOR PASSENGER SERVICE, SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREIGHT YARD….AND IS SCHEDULED TO BE DEMOLISHED.
