Ogden Union Station was the hub of transcontinental rail traffic for over 50 years. Today the grand old depot, built in 1924, houses museums and galleries featuring railroad history, firearms, gems and minerals, classic cars and the arts.
I guess my interest in this depot is that my father worked here and our family traveled out of here every summer to Omaha, Nebraska to visit our grandparents.
The "Caboose" was taken out of service in 1980 thanks to technology
This is a BIG locomotive. These wheels were over six feet tall
This is the inside of the depot. I remember these massive benches.
Looking north towards Mt. Ben Lomond
This is a high school in Ogden, I took the picture because I thought the architecture looked cool
This is the Seventh Day Adventist church in Ogden. I went to kindergarten and first grade here
This is the head stone of my fathers parents. They were killed in a automobile accident on Christmas eve

No Internet? Man, you must be out in the boonies?
I think you're going to luck out with the weather. It's supposed to cool down significantly.
Later, dude!
Hi Leonard, Tired and ready to be home. Can't blame you. The wind has been blowing like crazy today. Hope it is cool enough for you coming home and not to windy. Please be safe. Love ya sis
Great pics. Thanks for posting. Buzz
The train station looks like our state capital's station (Sacramento) except for THE DECAYING STATE IT'S IN, oh yes also the wineos and derilects roaming the place. Yeh Gov. Arnold for sticking your head in the sand and ignoring the decaying icons right in your own backyard - but then I guess he never has to lower himself to travel with the masses. He prefers his HUMMER, YAH!! SCREW ARNOLD!!!!
