Constructed in 1892 by the California Southern Railroad, the station in Perris, California, was built in the Queen Anne architectural style. This line was originally part of a proposed transcontinental line, but the southern end of the line, heading to San Diego, was repeatedly washed out and the city of Perris was no longer a junction, but rather just another stop on what would become the Santa Fe Railway's San Jacinto Branch. A short section of the old California Southern remains, and is today the rail line to the nearby Orange Empire Railway Museum. |
