The town's first rail service, the Santa Ana, Orange and Tustin Street Railway, was a {{convert|4.04|mi}} long [[horsecar]] line that ran between Santa Ana and Orange, beginning in 1886. One year later, the Santa Ana and Orange Motor Road Company purchased the line, using a steam "dummy" car and a single gasoline motorcar as its means of conveyance. In 1906, [[Henry E. Huntington]] acquired the company under the auspices of the Los Angeles Inter-Urban Railway and electrified the line.

Passenger service over the new line operated by Huntington's [[Pacific Electric Railway]] began on June 8, 1914, originating at the PE's depot on Lemon Street. The route provided freight service to the local citrus growers, in direct competition with the [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway]]. Pacific Electric sold out in 1961 to the [[Southern Pacific Railroad]], who ultimately abandoned the line in 1964.

The Santa Fe, under its affiliate the [[Southern California Railway]], laid its first tracks through Orange in 1886, and established its first depot the following year. The route would become part of the railroad's famous "[[Surf Line]]", and by 1925, 16 daily passenger trains (the Santa Fe's ''[[San Diegan (train)|San Diegan]]'') made stops in Orange. During peak growing seasons, as many as 48 carloads of [[citrus]] [[fruit]]s, [[olive]]s, and [[walnut]]s were shipped daily from the Orange depot as well.

Orange's former Santa Fe depot, in [[Mediterranean Revival architecture|Mediterranean Revival]] style, still stands adjacent to the current [[Orange station (California)|Orange station]], which uses the platform area. It was dedicated on May 1, 1938, and was closed with the discontinuation of passenger service in 1971, though commuter service resumed at the adjacent platform in 1993. The building was granted historic landmark status by the city on November 15, 1990. In July 2004, the facility was home to a ''Cask 'n Cleaver'' restaurant and was remodeled and reopened in 2011 as a Ruby's Diner.

Rail connections to Los Angeles, the [[Inland Empire]], and [[San Diego County, California|Northern San Diego County]] are provided by the [[Metrolink (California)|Metrolink]] regional commuter rail network. The [[Orange station (California)|Orange station's]] platform is situated adjacent to the former Santa Fe depot in the downtown Historic District, which is also home to an [[Orange County Transportation Authority]] (OCTA) [[bus]] station, is the second busiest station of the entire Metrolink train system due to its position serving as a transfer station for the Orange County and the IEOC Metrolink lines. The former Santa Fe mainline links the cities of Los Angeles, [[Riverside, California|Riverside]], and [[San Diego]] via a junction north of the station.

====Airports====
[[John Wayne Airport]] (SNA), in nearby Santa Ana, provides daily scheduled airline service for the area.
