Where was this located?  Was it on the edge of the wye by Hanna Ranch road or farther south where the highway is now?
Google Maps

Yeah further south, just a bit north of Bel Marin Keys Blvd. If you get on freeway northound at Bel Marin Keys Blvd. the station palm is still there at the base of the ramp. The depot was a bit north of the palm. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.0686298,-122.5382676,3a,75y,50.11h,100.63t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sx2yo21MCP29gTNCScj1igw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Dx2yo21MCP29gTNCScj1igw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D350.02792%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192

Attached is the trackmap layer from Marin Railroads. Red outline is the depot. 

In this link you can see a few palms and a creek called Arroyo Jan Jose--should be San Jose. The depot was located north of the creek and just north of the palms. There was a road that crossed the tracks between creek and the depot location, I believe. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.0686422,-122.5381694,68m/data=!3m1!1e3
