Monrovia Station


Abandoned Train Station, originally uploaded by ls2_zed.

Well, geeez, I’ve certainly posted pictures of our old train station on this blog before, but this HDR pic by “ls2_zed” takes the cake. I just had to post! Do view LARGER. I mean, criminey, does it get any better than this? I might as well bury my Canon six feet under and call it a day.

    I saw this entry a couple of weeks ago. Looking at it again, I have the same response: How very sad. We were always proud of our station. I remember when trains used to stop there. Now it looks like an old derelict. A little bit of maintenance through the years would have been nice.

    Excellent photo ! Another one of your classics.

    I have to admit you take some pretty damn good photos. Have you ever thought of publishing your photos as a table top book ?

    Lets just hope when the city moves forward on preserving our train station they have someone who knows what they are doing to over seeing that it’s done right and the train station looks like the way it did in 1926 when they complete the job.

    When I look at what has been done to some of the old buildings in the Monrovia Old Town district and seeing those awful street lamps they came up with, it scares me that the city may screw up again.
