Tallahassee Station

Here are the Seaboard Air Line stations at Tallahassee. The passenger station is in front, with the freight depot behind. Both buildings are still here, although the passenger platform is gone. The freight depot is now used as the Tallahassee Amtrak station, and also houses some city offices, while the passenger depot is CSX property. This photo is dated 1969, but those baggage carts suggest an earlier era.

I like the double station. Easy to model in small space. I think some places still used those old baggage carts in the 60s. I saw them at stations in the 80s in Kansas.
Here's a good site for diesel roster building, in case you haven't seen it: It is the SAL site:

Yeah I actually found that site awhile back. Wish there was a similar one for the L&N! There's a good book on L&N diesels but it's hard to find...
