Description
Simi Valley, California
Built in 1903 by the Southern Pacific Railroad, the Santa Susana Depot served passengers and farmers in the town of Simi Valley for more than 60 years. With a classic passenger waiting room featuring a pot-belly stove, the depot was also headquarters for local freight shipments. It was also the home of the station agent. Today the Depot is the home of the Rancho Simi Foundation and the Santa Susana Pacific Model Railroad Club where Amtrak, Metrolink and Union Pacific trains pass by every day. Come and travel back to the past in this wonderful museum and train layout.
Today I am driving to Virginia in search of Mabry mill I have been wanting to go see it for a while so I've got the car packed up, lets see cooler of snacks, water and diet cokes, bag of M&M's, a map just in case, my sunglasses I don't leave home with out them, my cameras, plus extra batteries, an assortment of cds though I will probably just find a good oldie station to rock out to.... checked the radar looks pretty good, all set anyone want to ride along?? wish me luck have a great day everyone. Got about a 4 hour drive so time to head out.
This is my hometown.

Neat photo. Old railroad stations would make another good series. Now, hustle along so you can get back and show us your pictures:)
We had an old freight depot in our town with the wooden walk and big sliding doors. A small depot and it also served a few passengers as well. The hauled it to a new location and restored it. Personally, I liked it next to the tracks and without the gift shop and information stand but it is very nicely restored. Great composition that lends a very country feel to it.

Stellar POV employed and fine clarity and textures in this shot of the antique stuff, Lynell! So, drive carefully, don't use your cell phone while motoring, and take it easy on the M&Ms.
Pretty nice looking effect you gave this shot. Excellently done.
