Western Railroad Discussion > No more Santa Fe!Date: 10/20/16 18:00 No more Santa Fe! Author: ATSF2324 Remaining smokestack from San Berdoo.
Listened to that whistle growing up in Rialto.  Date: 10/20/16 18:04 Re: No more Santa Fe! Author: mojaveflyer It looks sort of lonely like that... I remember seeing it surrounded by buildings.

Date: 10/20/16 18:12 Re: No more Santa Fe! Author: PHall The area where the shops were at is part of the San Bernardino Intermodal Ramp.
The City of San Bernardino, before they went bankrupt, was trying to do some urban renewal in the area which is why you see some empty lots. Date: 10/20/16 20:33 Re: No more Santa Fe! Author: AJnCorrie Funny you say you remember that whistle...when I left LA and moved to Knoxville I was around the old Coster Shop and they had a whistle for shift change...I freaking lost it when I heard it the first time thinking the 611 was coming through town...this was 23 years ago...

No smog that day! One of the reasons I left SoCal. And the traffic too. Date: 10/22/16 00:07 Re: No more Santa Fe! Author: ats90mph Don't they still blow the whistle?
