We'll Always Have Perris... 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.
Oh the stories these special buildings could tell. Originally the brains of the rails they monitored, working to insure effecient rail service for our nation! A tribute!
