Santa Fe Depot
A train station like no other, the Spanish Mission-inspired Santa Fe depot fulfils its function today as well as it did when the Santa Fe Railway inaugurated it in downtown San Diego in 1915. Amtrak took over Santa Fe’s passenger operations in 1971, and that railroad was later subsumed into today’s BNSF mega-railroad, but happily to old sign still stand proud on the roof. It’s a busy place too for rail activity, with frequent departures of the Coaster commuter service and the San Diego Trolley trains that call every few minutes.
