That is a very neat set of lettering. Would make for a very cool tee shirt. :-)

Missy,

Nice photo.

I have a fascination with railroad stations. When I was a teenager I would go the RR station, watched trains, people in the window, and dreamed of going places.

I still do.

Missy,

Trains and train lore is such an important part of Americana. Nice use of the old depot. :)

Missy, what a surprise this was...I wasn't sure what to expect from the blog post title "Gandy Dancer" but it sure wasn't a train station...LOL! :D

Missy - It provides a neat atmosphere!  There is something timeless about most trainstations.  Here in Sacramento, we have tried for years to jump start a plan to restore our grand station.  Perhaps one day we will accomplish that!

Missy, some of the best architectural features in older buildings are in the ceiling! Look at the rafters and trusses. The signs are cool, too, but what frames them is fabulous!
