Tecate station ( Spanish: Estación de Tecate) was a train station in Tecate, Baja California. The Building has an influence on the architectural style of the first stage of American Frank Lloyd Wright. The station had a waiting room, cellar and office on the ground floor. [2]
The station was built around 1914 and was part of the Inter-California Railway, a branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad. It was built at a connection point between the Tijuana and Tecate Railway and the Inter-California Railway. This route was part of the Southern Pacific rail network that crossed Mexican territory at Tijuana passing through Tecate, leaving Mexico at a point near Campo, California; re-entering Mexican territory in Mexicali to leave Mexico at Algodones, in the northeastern part of the Baja California Peninsula. Right next to the station, in 1932, a malt plant for export was put into operation. [3]
