The Train depot

The first picture is from a movie still taken in 1949
from a movie called "Impact", which I happened to catch on T.C.M.

The second is from the seventies when the trains had long ceased to stop for passengers.
They almost tore this down as well, but sold it to the park district for a dollar and then moved it to the knolls.

And finally in it's new home celebrating it's 110 birthday next year. Thank goodness they did not just tear it down like so much of Simi's past. I seem to remember picking up my father at the train station on what would of been one of the last passenger trains to stop in town for many years. I remember going inside and feeling the history even as a child.
