Santa Fe Train Depot San Bernardino

Depot opened July 15 1918. It served the Atchison Topeka, and Sante Fe rail lines.

Mission Revival style architecture.

This is the sitting area inside the bathroom.

There is a small museum inside that is free and open to the public. Cool stuff. 

American warbirds.

Thank you to claremontmodernism for scanning and sharing with us this actual photo of these F4U Corsairs. These fighter planes went into service in 1942. Capable of speeds up to 400 mph these were some of the best fighters in WWII. They were also used in the Korean war and accounted for 80% of all ground attack missions  flown by Navy and Marine units combined. Later they were the subject of the T.V. series "Black Sheep Squadron" 

This guy!

Yes! God bless America.

GM filing bankruptcy.

1942 chevrolet suburban.

The century-old automaker was for decades the very symbol of American corporate power, selling about half the cars on the road in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, GM's U.S. market share has dropped below 20% as the Detroit company has steadily ceded ground to Japanese brands.

First step is cleaning out all the crap.

This is crap the dude that sold me the car didn't want at his house so he loaded up the trunk. Normal practice.
