Benicia Railroad Depot

Benicia Railroad Depot
Oil on panel
6" x 6"

This old railroad depot sits at the western end of the Pony Express.  From there, bags of letters were ferried across San Pablo Bay and San Francisco Bay to San Francisco.  I painted this view looking south, and you can barely see the Carquinez Strait running behind the building on the far left.  Here you can see a photo of the building looking north.
