I haven't had the time to look at all the photo's, I need to do that when I a) have a lot of time, or b) am at a location where I have something other than dial-up access.
But from what I saw, apparently they tried to use the depot as a car barn, and it didn't work out quite as planned?
I'll get into the rest later on. Thanks for the pictures.

Well put, Mark. Maybe I should change the title.

I looked at the rest of the pictures. Man, they really piled that train in there! Looks like that station got hit by a cannonball. Get it? Oh, that's bad.
Looked around your website some. Nice. Hadn't really explored it before, but tonight I'm on a computer that is NOT dial-up, so I can see pictures without waiting three or five minutes for each one do load.
That must take a lot of work.

Thanks for noticing, Mark.

My wife thinks I spend way too much time on this. I had hoped to get a little income (or at least pay the bills) from ad clicks, but only rarely does anyone click on an ad.

I hate to tell you, I go into websites and even though there are ads all around the fringes of the screen, I never really see them. Same thing with newspapers and magazines. I tune them out just like I can tune out an irritated wife. :-)
In the one case, I simply don't 'see' a thing. In the other, I simply don't 'hear' a thing.
I'm probably not alone in this.
