With a much different skyline in today’s modern world, one thing hasn’t changed as the ever so familiar mission style domes of the Santa Fe Station in San Diego, CA keep guard of the station platforms. The Santa Fe station in San Diego was always a hustling place as it is in 2013. Taken in the early to mid 1950s, this mission style structure was built as a replacement to the 1887 built depot in preparation of the Panama Canal Exposition. Inherited from a family friend this transparency is one of the true gems in the collection. Today the former Santa Fe Surfline plays host to a variety of commuter and intercity passenger trains including scheduled BNSF freight service. The urban sprawl of Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties vastly has changed in sixty plus years. (F.W. Fleer photo)
