Uh...

A banner asking SunRail commuters on their service, this probably explains the reason why quad gates are coming in and the complaining residents.

It also looks like Fergs Railway Depot was closed down.

And sadly, one of the GS type 1's was oddly enough, replaced with a RACO or Safetran bell at the Church Street crossing, although older and used.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
All the construction, especially that pretty narrow overpass, couldn't imagine if the crossing is soon to be grade seperated, the road is literally dirt now.ZachL wrote:Uh what??NathanFromEngland wrote:Uh...

Oh that's awesome. I know someone from El Centro, but they don't live there any longer.freebrickproductions wrote:A nice old Griswold install in El Centro, CA:

It turns out, i was correctNathanFromEngland wrote:It also looks like Fergs Railway Depot was closed down.

I did actually eat in there last year, when i recorded and got some terrible photos of the Church Street crossing and the video (which i made private due to the bad outcome of it) but it wasn't just popular when i dined there, the food was nice but not enough people appeared to be there on the day i ate there, there was also some quiz game that nobody seemed to be playing and there was basically nobody playing there.
Now there's another report on what it could become, but for now we have no clue. I guess Mark Fergusons hopes of turning the property of Church Street station around are dashed now. Plans however are divided, and the City of Orlando are encouraging residents to vote on what the building should become
Ferguson did however sign a 20 year lease to the building, although i have no clue where that could have went now since Fergs is gone.
Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I'm surprised Ferguson would open there. Both of his restaurants in St. Petersburg and Tampa are successful because they're around the corner from sports venues.NathanFromEngland wrote:It turns out, i was correctNathanFromEngland wrote:It also looks like Fergs Railway Depot was closed down.
