“I can still hear the horn from the many visits of the train on its serpentine journey through Fallbrook’s Friendly Village before arriving at the once classic Santa Fe station on Alvarado.”
Location: Elder St at South Main Ave Inspiration:
The mural, a citrus box label style rendition honoring Fallbrook’s agricultural industry, depicts a Santa Fe train crossing Main and includes the old Ellis Hotel as well as Fallbrook's famous citrus and avocado crops. Trains have been an important part of Fallbrook’s history by transporting local produce, lumber, passengers and military supplies to the Naval Weapons Station. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad crossed Main between Elder and Fig Streets from 1904 until the early 1970’s.
