Rialto station was a Pacific Electric train station in Rialto, California. It is located on Riverside Avenue at crossing of the Union Pacific (formerly Pacific Electric and Southern Pacific) tracks. This was the point where the Riverside–Rialto Line branched south from the Upland–San Bernardino Line. The station building was designed by Thornton Fitzhugh, who also designed the railroad's main downtown terminal: the Pacific Electric Building. The concrete structure cost the railway roughly $10,000 for construction (equivalent to $289,276 in 2022 adjusted for inflation). Direct passenger service to Los Angeles ended in 1947 when the San Bernardino Line was truncated to Baldwin Park.After freight service to the station ended, the building was sold and had been operated as a restaurant.

Rialto Municipal Airport
Rialto Municipal Airport

Rialto Municipal Airport (FAA LID: L67), originally Miro Field, was a general aviation airport three miles (5 km) northwest of Rialto, in San Bernardino County, California, United States. It was used by private aircraft; no airlines flew into this airport. It was about 12 miles northeast of Ontario International Airport and ten miles west of San Bernardino International Airport. The airport did not have a control tower and averaged 82 operations a day. An FBO with a flight school and a separate helicopter flight school operated at the airport. There were several aviation related businesses. Warbirds West Air Museum is relocating its warbird collection to the big hangar at the center of the field. The airport cafe is attached to the WWAM hangar. There was an air ambulance business in the southeast part of the airport. Despite its size compared to nearby airfields (Upland Cable Airport, Corona Municipal Airport, El Monte Municipal Airport, Redlands Municipal Airport and Hemet-Ryan Airport), Rialto was a relatively quiet airport. This led the city of Rialto to approve the closing of the airport by 2009/2010 for redevelopment, driven by real estate developers. The airport was expected to close by January or February 2015, once the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Aviation Division relocated to the San Bernardino International Airport. Development of Renaissance Marketplace was planned to begin as soon as the airport closes and the runways are removed. On September 18, 2014, the airport officially closed to air traffic; all runways are marked with yellow Xs.
