Thanks for posting this classic GM&O image Gerald. The old radio station, phone booth, and mail truck really add a lot of character to this image. |

Another classic Gerald. A lot has changed over the years. The phone booth is gone. The ties are made of concrete and there are fewer tracks. And I wonder how many years it has been since the Post Office pulled their truck right up to the train for the mail? The GM&O station to the right looks pretty much today as it did back then. Great photo. |

A classic, I'll echo Joseph's comment to the tee. |
