The National City Depot Museum, operated by the San Diego Electric Railway Association (SDERA), is dedicated to preserving the rich history of the San Diego Electric Railway, which served as the primary streetcar system in San Diego from the late 1800s until 1949. Housed in a historic Santa Fe railroad station constructed in 1882, the depot features exhibits on streetcars and rail history, along with an O-Scale model railroad display.
Located in National City, the museum offers visitors a unique glimpse into the evolution of transportation in the region, showcasing significant railcars like SD Trolley Car 1002 and Car 54. With a commitment to restoration and growth, the SDERA invites donations and volunteer support to help ensure the preservation of this important piece of local history for future generations.
