Rialto station was a Pacific Electric train station in Rialto, California. It is located on Riverside Avenue at crossing of the Union Pacific (formerly Pacific Electric and Southern Pacific) tracks. This was the point where the Riverside–Rialto Line branched south from the Upland–San Bernardino Line. The station building was designed by Thornton Fitzhugh, who also designed the railroad's main downtown terminal: the Pacific Electric Building.[2] The concrete structure cost the railway roughly $10,000 for construction (equivalent to $267,862 in 2021 adjusted for inflation).[3] Direct passenger service to Los Angeles ended in 1947 when the San Bernardino Line was truncated to Baldwin Park.
