The Etiwanda Depot is a former railway station of the Pacific Electric Railway, located in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The station was principally in service for the Upland–San Bernardino Line.
History
[edit]Freight operations to Etiwanda began on December 27, 1913.[1] The station building opened on January 25, 1914, and was constructed by the Pacific Electric.[1][2][3] The Upland–San Bernardino Line began full operation on July 11, but cars may had run here from Pomona as early as the station's opening.[4] Passenger service was discontinued in 1941,[4] but the depot continued to function as a freight depot until 1960.[2]
After being sold by the railroad, the property was used as a lumber yard until 2004.[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 2011.
