Enthusiasts -

Does anyone know the mileage from the downtown Santa Fe station in San Diego to the 'end-of-track' in San Ysidro?

I rode the trolley on my recent train trip and want to accurately log the mileage for my San Ysidro turn.

Full report to follow in a day or two!

I'd hazard a guess it's about 13 miles; that's the number we have always thrown around. A true SD trolley fan will probably give you the number in tenths of a mile soon, David. But 13 is probably somewhere close to accurate...one way, of course.

That sounds like a really good estimate. You're right that someone here is going to chime in with an exact figure. It will be interesting to hear what that person (or persons) have to say!
