This tourist website (visit link) informs us of the following:

"MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS
Built in 1882, the National City Santa Fe Rail Depot is the only original transcontinental railroad terminus in the United States still standing. On November 14, 1885, the first train left from National City to Waterman (renamed Barstow in 1886), 78 miles from its transcontinental link in San Bernadino.
National City Santa Fe Rail Depot appears today much as it did back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. In 1998, National City restored the Santa Fe Rail Depot to its original splendor. Expecially impressive is the woodwork and other interior details."
