The purpose of the trail is to provide
recreational opportunities for cyclists, pedestrians, runners ,
equestrians and Geocachers. Trail users would enjoy exercise,
convenient access to jobs, public facilities and shopping, while
exploring the history and culture of the area. The San Bernardino
Associated Governments, the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the
participating cities have exercised great vision to designate this
corridor for trail use. This will allow the cities to create a
beautiful common area that can be shared by commuters, pedestrians,
cyclists, equestrians, and other non-motorized transportation. A
beautiful link across the Pomona Valley. You can help change our
region.
Where is the rail
trail?
The rail trail follows the Southern
Pacific railroad corridor which travels east-west through this
valley. The 21-mile long rail trail would begin in downtown
Claremont and end in downtown Rialto.
What is Pacific
Electric?
The Pacific Electric Railway was once
the world’s largest interurban and street railway system, extending
from Los Angeles to its outlying regions. The building of the
railway through the Inland Empire was crucial to the development of
the area, particularly to support the agricultural industry that
fueled the local economy.
