The original Northwestern Pacific Railroad ( NWP ) Depot was built in 1903 . Surviving the 1906 San Francisco earthquake , the station was eventually served by ten trains a day . Increased automobile ownership and highway construction led to decline of rail use in Sonoma County , thus leading to disuse of the facility as a passenger terminal around 1958 . Alfred Hitchcock 's 1943 film '' Shadow of a Doubt '' featured scenes filmed at the original NWP depot
