THE RAILROADS.
PLANS OF THE SANTA FE IN
THE TEMECULA CANON.
The Line to Be Built from South River
side to Elsinore as Stated Some Time
Ago by the Herald-Other Railroad
News.

The HERALD a couple of months ago
published the intended route to be fol-
lowed by the Santa Fe from South Riv-
erside in its reconstruction of the Te-
mecula line to Oceanside. The assertion
was laughed at by slow-going contempo-
raries, but it was correct. The Elsinore
Press gives further details as follows ::
We are pleased to learn, yet not sur
prised, for it has long appeared to us
the cheapest, best and wisest thing for
the Santa Fe people to do, that the Te-
mecula canon route will not be rebuilt.
and that the San Jacinto cai1on from
Perris to Elsinore station will be aban-
doned, and a direct line from South
Riverside to San Diego be built from
the former place by way of the Temes.
cal tin mines, the Elsirore coal fields,
clay beds and asbestos mines, through
the city of Elsinore to the sta

follow the same line as at present
to Temecula. Then leaving the present
Temecula ca1on route and run bv wav

Valley Center, to Escondido, thence to
San Bernardino, San Pasqual to Poway,
thence to San Diego by way of Lakeside
and the Guyana Eastern or to Pacific
Beach and into San Diego by the pres
ent motor line, either of which latter
are feasible routes for entrance to the
only southern harbor on the coast. By
taking the route from South Riverside
to San Diego, it would open up one of
the richest portions of San Diego county
and turn its trade and productions to
the banner commercial port of the
southern coast, where it properly be-
longs, and will come in time as natur-
ally as the water flows into our harbor
from the great Pacific.
This gives us the Santa Fe from North
Pomona by way Of this city to Chino,
thence to South Riverside, and that road
would be better fixed than any other for
freight and passengers. We hope to see
this accomplished.
