While the University of Redlands main campus remained sparsely populated during much of the COVID-19 pandemic, something exciting was taking shape: a station for the new Arrow line train route that will provide a southern gateway to the University. The structure, which is located adjacent to Ann Peppers Hall, will be the terminus of the route and was an integral part of President Ralph W. Kuncl’s vision for the University. On June 17, a group of dignitaries unveiled the new station to an enthusiastic crowd. In honor of that event, we compiled a 21-song playlist of train-themed ballads.
