Visit Kearsarge Station, California
Kearsarge Station is located on the former route of the Southern Pacific Railroad 4.5 miles (7.2 km) east of Independence, at an elevation of 3,770 ft (1,150 m). Built originally as a stagecoach depot in 1866, it evolved into a railroad station in 1883 to carry freight and passengers on the Carson & Colorado Railroad line, known locally as the "Slim Princess". It served the Independence community from 1883 until it was closed during the Great Depression on June 29, 1932. The station was torn down in 1955 and the railroad line ceased operation on April 30, 1960.
It was first named Independence, then changed to Citrus and finally Kearsarge Station in 1913. Along side the station depot was a residence for the section boss and a bunkhouse for the workers.
Citrus post office operated from 1888 to 1905 and from 1907 to 1910.
