The Ghosts of Alhambra’s Railroads
Alhambra draws much of its history and personality from having a railroad previously running through it. Prior to being placed into the “trench” along Mission Road in the 1970’s, the Southern Pacific railroad line ran at grade next to Mission and served one of the largest petro chemical equipment manufacturers in the world, the C. F. Braun Corporation at Fremont Avenue and Mission Road.
