Good evening. Another rainy day at the Jersey Shore...60° and cloudy. 2.18" of rain so far today. I read a report that there was a Tornado touch ground at Fort Story, VA. (Near Virginia Beach). More unusual wild weather along the East Coast. Tomorrow, should be sunny with a high in the low 60s. The Mets and Atlanta have a makeup doubleheader at Citi Field tomorrow, so the sunny weather will be appreciated.
Otherwise, it was a quiet Sunday, I enjoyed a pre lunch nap, then spent the afternoon in Walthers and MB Klein's web sites. Did a little bargain hunting, otherwise, I checked on a few products connected with Walthers "General" offering, that are due this Spring or Summer.

The following pictures have rekindled my interest in the Railroad Model Craftsman article, "Consider the Commuter", that ran several years ago, and consisted of building a modular railroad including a station closely resembling the above building. Note that the Prudential Center is to the rear, and the new Marriott to the right. The article was deliberately vague as to the prototype of the terminal, however, after seeing the three photos I'm pretty sure that this was the prototype. The prototype had two passenger platforms serving 4 stub end tracks. The lower level housed Mail/Baggage/Express and LCL freight, with a track at street level.
