Description
Railroads and Depots of Orange County By Rob Richardson Orange County's rail history spans over 130 years, with iconic American rail companies such as Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific establishing a presence here by the early 1920s. The county played host to thousands of people serving at military bases during World War II, their journeys passing through Orange County's depots. Today, the county's rail scene remains vibrant, with Amtrak, Metrolink, and amusement park railroads joining established lines like Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific. Railroad depots, both old and new, can be found across Orange County, playing a vital role in the county's history and transportation infrastructure. This book explores the dynamic story of Orange County's rail scene, from its early days to the present day, offering a unique insight into the county's rich transportation heritage.
