Nostalgia & History > Station Sunday, Big and Small -- Rick Burn

1. The Rock Island Depot at Etter, TX in August 1964.  Now that's interesting Rick.

2. DRG&W's Soldiers Summit Depot in Utah in November 1971.  The sign on the roof peak reads Soldiers Summit.

3. The front of the Santa Fe Depot in San Diego, CA in June 1964. That parking lot has become a nice patio with the trolley running on two sides.

4. Southern's Peach Tree Station, Atlanta, GA on September 16, 1987.  Peach Tree Street is on an overpass over the tracks and platform.  The depot is on stilts much like the CTA stations along the Dan Ryan Expressway.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peachtree_station

5. The old Southern Pacific Station in San Antonio, TX in April 1993.

6. Tennessee Central's Depot at Lebanon, TN in December 2001.


Enjoy,

The San Antonio SP Station has been beautifully restored by the city and is now used as a banquet and event center. Amtrak has built a small station just to the south.

In the broadside photo of San Antonio you can see the filled-in archways of the old baggabe/express extension to the right (south).
That is where the dispatcher's offices were moved to in about 1980, when they de-centralized Houston's office.
I have a friend who as an SP dispatcher was moved from Houston to San Antonio, Roseville, Denver, and ended up in Spring, TX.
