San Diego Walking Tour: Downtown La Mesa

Start off with a bit of history at the La Mesa Depot Museum. The old Southern Pacific Railway depot is recreated here, with historical facts and info when freight trains rode the rails through here (the Trolley rns along this very railway bed now). The best part of the depot are the three actual train cars sitting stationary on tracks: a locomotive engine, a freight car, and a caboose. You can climb aboard them and imagine you're heading out to faraway places. These railway cars are great for taking pictures of yourself in a rustic setting. The La Mesa Depot is free to visit.
