Santa Fe Depot

(Fullerton Station)

Originally built to serve Santa Fe trains arriving in Fullerton, the depot now serves all passenger rail and bus service to Fullerton. As is the case with most depots designed for the Santa Fe Railroad, this building is built in a Spanish revival style. Large arched passageways designate the entrance into the main hall, but also serve as shaded waiting areas for passengers. The café veranda looking out onto the platform provides plenty of opportunity for watching the trains roll on by. (2017)
