Description
English: A nighttime view of the La Grande Station from the southeast.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (often abbreviated to "Santa Fe") opened La Grande Station on July 29, 1893. It was located at 2nd Street and Santa Fe Ave, just south of the First Street viaduct built in 1929, and on the west bank of the LA River. The Moorish-style depot cost $50,000 and for 30 years boasted a first-class restaurant called "The Harvey House." La Grande Station was the Santa Fe Railway's main passenger terminal in Los Angeles, California, until the Long Beach earthquake of 1933. After the earthquake, the station's dome was removed, but the station continued to serve as Santa Fe Railway's LA passenger terminal until the opening of the new LA Union Station on May 7, 1939. When Union Station opened in 1939, Santa Fe moved all of its passenger services there and closed the La Grande station.
