About this property

Union Pacific Railroad acquired the line on Vine Street along with the station in 1921. Local Pacific Electric streetcars served the station via a terminal at 7th and Vine until 1924. Passenger service ceased in 1971 when Amtrak took over intercity passenger service in the United States.

The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 18, 1977 as San Pedro, Los Angeles, & Salt Lake RR Depot. Metrolink commuter rail service to Riverside began in 1993, followed by Amtrak in 2002; both use Riverside–Downtown station near the former Santa Fe Railroad station.
