Garibaldi Depot
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 25 June 2009 in Architecture.
Garibaldi is a busy fishing port on the Oregon coast. It also has a small park that demanded my attention. Garibaldi Depot, bulit in 1936, is one of the last one room depots built by the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Part of the Oregon Coast series.

The impressive engine and the one-room station make a fine picture. Good place to poke around and look for pictures. Nice shot of the place.

Stunning capture Steve! You probably don't know that Giuseppe Garibaldi was a very popular militar and political italian figure in the 19th century. He took part in the italian wars of indipendence and spent some time in the USA around 1850.

@Giovanni: Thank you for that piece of information. A quick check of Wikipedia confirms that the town is named after Mr. Garibaldi.

I like how the size of the train dwarfs the station. This is such a great shot!
