RAILROADS The Port of San Diego is served by a transcontinental rail carrier, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and a line-haul carrier, the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railway, a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company. Trackage in San Diego of both carriers parallels most of the commercial waterfront on the east side of the harbor. The west side of the harbor is served by the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railway. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway is one of the transcontinental rail systems. With its subsidiaries, the company's trackage extends from Chicago, Ill., and from interior points in the State of Louisiana to Pacific coast cities including San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Inland metropolitan centers such as Kansas City., Mo., Oklahoma City, Okla., Fort Worth and Dallas, Tex., Denver, Colo., and numerous smaller cities are reached by main and branch lines of this carrier. Its rails form a network throughout the western plains and the southwestern and Rocky Mountain areas; Beaumont, Houston, and Galveston, Tex., are termini for the southern reaches of its rails. From Colorado and Texas points, the lines converge near Albuquerque, N. Mex., into a main line which extends to southern California and thence to San Francisco. Important branches reach El Paso, Tex., and Phoenix, Ariz. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company and its affiliated companies operate more than 13,000 miles of road. The San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railway Company, together with the Tijuana and Tecate Railway Company, operates approximately 150 miles of road from San Diego to El Centro, Calif. Lines of this company serve the east and west sides of the harbor. Connections are made with the Southern Pacific Company at El Centro, Calif., and with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway at San Diego and National City, Calif. The San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railway is a subsidiary line of the Southern Pacific Company, a transcontinental rail carrier. With its numerous subsidiary lines, the Southern Pacific Company operates nearly 15,000 miles of road serving the Pacific coast and the southern border area of the United States, eastward to the Mississippi River.
