The warehouses and depots can even be used in the regular “Ticket to Ride” game, if you happen to own both. The “USA 1910” expansion was a bit more cosmetic, I felt, as it mainly addressed the card size and added new routes (but no new gameplay mechanics as significant as warehouse and depots).

When a player claims a route that contains a depot, they may discard one of their own depots (which are sitting in front of the player) to take all of the train cards from that player’s warehouse.
