We don't get to see many color shots of it. Also neat to see the street trackage in Saint Petersburg, views from a more laid back and quieter time.

Larry Date: 05/31/23 09:35 Re: Florida Odds and Ends from Bill Howes Author: CPMorris Excellent, Marty, especially #4 showing the street running in St. Petersburg.
That ended in 1962 when ACL moved to a new station on the north side of town. Imagine living there then with that great balcony view! Thanks, Marty! Also, SAL relocated to a new facility in 1959.

They just quietly disappeared from the scene without me even noticing.
