Union Station - San Diego

Union Station in San Diego still proudly displays its heritage as the Santa Fe Depot. Built in 1915, the Mission Revival style station was the attempt by San Diego to become the West Coast terminus of the Santa Fe transcontinental railroad. The battle was won by Los Angeles. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Station_(San_Diego,_California) for more info.
