Pacific Railroad owned the land for more than 150 years and sold it to Kirkwood for about $1 million in 2003.

“We don’t want the station in the hands of a private individual who might use the site for other purposes,” City Administrator Mike Brown told the Post-Dispatch in 2003. “It’s the centerpiece of Kirkwood.”
Handsome station. Sounds like the small town is really invested in their railroad station. Only negative is the modern fake wood flooring. Was the second floor for offices or was it a signal "tower"?

Mr. Charles, that's easy enough to address; if viewing on a W10 or higher platform, just click the + and the photos will show upright.

Lastly, Mr. Aficionado, I presume those photos you submitted are Timetable East, and with a compass heading of about 40.

We got to keep Baltimore weird somehow. We not going to have John Waters forever, ya know. :grinning:
But they could turn the GIANT glowing hermaphrodite out front into an actual giant mecha, with an approximation of his personality as the AI.
Closest to an immortal John waters.
