Here's a building that I feel quite close to, the old Northern Pacific depot in Livingston, MT.
This is the station today, which is now a railroad museum, and the engine facilities are now the Montana Rail Link shops.
Here it is today.
It is also the home for my model railroad club. It is in the basement of the western building on the right of the next photo.
The building on the east is a restaurant. Great food.
In the next photo, the western part of the building is a wine bar. You can see the railing at the end on the building leading down to the basement where the club is. The club occupies three rooms in the basemen. One room was a baggage room, aniother was a coal bunker and the last part of the basement held a boiler room.
The town is close to the railroad and a lot of activities go on at the museum. The club is considered part of the museum, so we pay no rent which is nice. During the summer, the club is open to the public (part of the agreement with the museum) on Thursdays from 1 PM until 4 PM and on Saturdays from 7 PM until 9 PM. During the winter, Thursday open house is not open.
When I was a kid, we used to board the North Coast Limited here for out trips to Indiana to visit family. I am so glad that this landmark is being preserved.
