Saugus Train Depot- Newhall, CA - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

The centerpiece of Heritage Junction is the Saugus Train Depot, which opened 113 years ago, a few miles west on a dusty highway now known as San Fernando Road. There, beginning in 1887, passengers waited to board the Union Pacific trains that swept through town. The depot was shuttered in 1978, and moved two years later to Newhall to be preserved. It now houses a museum filled with relics of days gone by - among them old railroad artifacts, some American Indian items plucked from the lands once claimed by the Tatavium tribe and even some old court records from the days when horse thievery was common.
