A streetcar fan making a bus stop? Quite improbable you say. But true.
I made the bus stop at Orange Empire Railway Museum (out in
the desert about 60 miles east of LA). The museum is about 100 acres. Often they run a bus among the car barns. The bus stop I made is near the museum entrance.
Here is it just after I made it.
I renovated the bench, a real LA bus stop bench that had been in the outback of the museum for years. I even planted some desert ground cover.
Oh, the bus! It may even be the same model I drove in Willmette, IL during my Northwestern University days.
These pictures were taken during the winter of 2011-2012.
Awesome story, Marty ! I have seen that bench and now I know why !
ReplyDeleteThe sign finally faded away in the sun, but bus, stop, trolley and bench are all alive and well.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad it's still there.
