Nostalgia & History > A quieter time in Elk GroveDate: 10/14/05 13:11 A quieter time in Elk Grove Author: photobob Heres the SP Elk Grove depot near Sacramento in 1956. Simply hang a clothes line on a corner of the station and hang up your laundry. Plus a nice little bird bath for our feathered friends. I imagine things are not as serene at this location anymore.

At least I get free DSL if I show up for work. Date: 10/14/05 17:29 Re: A quieter time in Elk Grove Author: dmaffei Bob,
When I log out and checked the photo, it looks like Colma. Are you sure its not Colma? Who's bloomers are flap'n in the wind anyway? Was there water in the Bird Bath? Date: 10/14/05 20:38 Re: A quieter time in Elk Grove Author: JohnSweetser Yes, it's Elk Grove. The features visible in the thumbnail photo match those in the three-quarters view of Elk Grove in "Southern Pacific Lines, Pacific Lines Stations, Vol. 3" (put out by the SP Historical Society), including clothes on the clothesline.
Date: 10/15/05 05:10 Re: A quieter time in Elk Grove Author: 4-12-2 Yes, but are they the SAME clothes on the wash line?! Remember, we're searching history here....we can't countenance any errors, of any sort.
By the way, just to show you where my head is, I first figured the location would be Elk Grove Village, IL! :) John Date: 10/15/05 13:52 Re: A quieter time in Elk Grove Author: TCnR OK, I logged in, those are Bob's 11x16's on the line. That big one with gravy stains is really a mural size. Somebodies getting ready for WinteRail.
