Santa Fe's station in San Clemente, California, was a simple structure consisting of three cinder-block walls and a roof. This provided shelter from the ocean breeze and salt spray, although passengers were required to stand as the only bench was outside - Inside there was just a board listing departure times for the four northbound and four southbound "San Diegans" that stopped here each day. Two years after Santa Fe passenger service had been taken over by Amtrak, the schedule in side still showed the Santa Fe train numbers and times. |
