Oh, and look at all of those abandoned streetcar tracks. I wonder if the buses were really so brightly colored. I like to think they were.

That's a massive building to administer a railway! I'm glad they didn't demolish it and that it's found a new lease of life.

Amazing--I love those linenish looking postcards! It doesn't look like it's changed much, has it?!

Happy PFF!

Wonderful building and I liked the red and yellow busses too. Nice that you included a map in your post instead of just a picture. Happy PFF!
