The Southern California Railway was formed on November 7, 1889 by the consolidation of the California Southern Railroad Company, the California Central Railway Company and the Redondo Beach Railway Company. A second consolidation in June 1892 merged the existing company with the Santa Fe and Santa Monica Railway and the San Bernardino and Eastern Railway, and in 1899 the Southern California Railway took control of the Elsinore, Pomona and Los Angeles Railway; all of its lines were deeded to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company on January 17, 1906.
