Coronado Railroad (1888)

Eleven Most Endangered The Coronado Railroad served the Hotel Del Coronado and residents of the city, both commuter and tourist. This historic rail transportation corridor also served as a critical component in WWII, connecting North Island with San Diego. It is now threatened by new development within the city of Chula Vista. A counter proposal has been offered by a coalition of environmental groups to support its use as a rail line for eco-tourism. Through a concerted effort by attorneys and consultants to the San Diego Unified Port District contesting its designation, the Coronado Railroad was recently delisted as a California State Historic landmark. SOHO has filed suit to force preparation of an EIR so that impacts to this resource can be addressed.
