This train came in sometime during the night and sat outside our window. Look at the parking lot in the foreground. This is where passenger trains used to wait for their passengers to board. You can still see rails in the pavement. The huge trainshed that once covered this area was removed back in 2001. Pictures of and historical information about the Trainshed can be found HERE. | |
