Each time a player uses his turn to Claim a Route into a city with a player's Depot in it, he may pick all the Train cards from that player's Warehouse, by discarding one of his own Depots from his Warehouse back into the game box.
Presumably "a player" is intended to mean ANY player. It is admittedly unclear. However if we're going to interpret the rules based on what is omitted or not specifically stated, you could read this to mean that you're not allowed to take cards from your own warehouse at all.

I fail to the the purpose of placing out additional depots on the map if you gain nothing from them.
1) You can place the depot right before connecting to it and thus immediately taking cards from your own warehouse before your opponents have a chance to respond.
2) Stations cannot be built on cities containing depots, thus it's an effective station-blocking strategy (assuming you'd rather build your own stations someplace where you really need them).
