La Mesa Boulevard station is a station on the Orange Line of the San Diego Trolley in the San Diego suburb of La Mesa, California. It serves the dense nearby commercial area, as well as a variety of apartment buildings that surround the stop.
Adjacent to the station is the historic La Mesa Depot Museum, owned by the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum. The museum is a restored station from 1894, and has original equipment from the era, including a steam locomotive and caboose.[7] The station building was built in 1894, when the San Diego and Cuyamaca Railway was built, and it was moved across the tracks to its current site in 1915.[8] Passenger service stopped in 1928, and did not restart until 1989 as part of the San Diego Trolley.
