One of the things I miss having moved to South Orange County from San Bernardino is the two depots I used to visit every few months to "check on them".
San Bernardino went through a major restoration and now houses the SANBAG (San Bernardino Area Governments) offices on the second floor, a museum and snack bar on the first floor, plus is the waiting room for Amtrak. They hold the Western Railroad Prototype Modelers' Meet there every May. This shot was taken from a block away (2nd Street). The lot in front has been developed so this view is no longer available. An O scale model of this depot would be about 11 feet long.
The Redlands Depot area has gone through some redevelopment. Rumors are that the Metrolink Eastern extension will reach this depot and end at the University of Redlands (about two miles East). The depot itself is a small wood-framed basic depot style, but the passenger shelter is approximately 300 feet long (a little over six feet in O scale). I have an RR-Track computer model for if and when I decide to build a model.
