The City Transportation Center in The Dalles hasn't served trains since Amtrak's Pioneer was discontinued in 1997 and it now only serves buses. I'm not sure if it's an historic depot that was moved from its original location and renovated or if it's a newer building designed to look like an old depot. It's architecturally very similar (although smaller) to the original Union Pacific Depot, as seen in the historical photos below, making it possible that it was renovated from part of the Union Pacific Depot. Or, more likely, it could just be an intentional homage.
