~ PIT STOP ~

This depot is one of the many
"Pit Stops" along the BNSF railway
route is located in Harper Kansas.
I wasn't even sure that this old
depot was still used, as most of
the windows were boarded up, I
did peek in the windows and realized
that with all of the up-to-date
electronic equipment inside, that
it must still be a stop for some
trains. Besides, there were two
railroad line work trucks parked
outside. Guess that should have
been a clear indication that this
depot is still in operation.
I did wonder though what it must
have been like back in the day
when riding the train was one of the
major forms of transportation.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

  Super comp and detail, Jeana...reminds me of train depot in a town I lived in many years ago. The area was more built up, but the building itself resembled this one...thanks for the memories!

  Too many of these classic depots have disappeared from the landscape so it is great to see this one still standing and apparently still in use. Excellent image...well composed...very well done.

  What a wonderful old station and railway scene, Jeana!
As a boy most of my travelling was done in trains hauled by steam locomotives, believe me when I say it was a frustrating exercise in patience! Time was so unimportant back then!

  I saw this yesterday Jeana and thought that has to be in KS somewhere. I enjoyed seeing them, they seem to have a Spanish flare to them. Beautiful small town image of Americana

  Jeana, wonderful capture of history and the treatment brings it to life as in the old days!
As a youngster one of my sisters and I traveled from Kansas City to Chicago on train. It was so much fun...it only took about 12 hours to get there! :-)
