(rshsdepot) Pullman barns



Has the Society (or anyone else, for that matter) ever done a survey of
depots in the US with their Pullman barns intact?  The SP depot in
Fresno has thiers, and its in very sound shape---you can still see the
painted lettering "Southern Pacific Line"---"Pullman Cars" on the side.

Cool your heels on the rail of an observation car. Let the engineer open
her up for ninety miles an hour. Take in the prairie right and left,
rolling land and new hay crops, swaths of new hay laid in the sun.  A
signalman in a tower, the outpost of Kansas City, keeps his place at a
window with the serenity of a bronze statue on a dark night when lovers
pass whispering.  

(Carl Sandburg, "Still Life")
