I attended the NMRA National Convention in Long Beach, CA, in August 2024.
As in some years past, I did the LDSig layout tour. One of the layouts on the tour this year was the Santa Susanna Model Railroad Club. The Club is housed in the former Southern Pacific Santa Susanna Station.
What follows is a sampling of photos that I found interesting. If you find yourself in the Los Angeles area, this is worth the ~60 minute drive up into the foothills.
We were able to get a nice depot tour and presentation from one of the historical society docents that was at the depot that day. His presentation was outstanding and engaging. He was able to take my group upstairs in the depot, which is the living space for the station agent. In Santa Susanna's case, the Agents were a husband and wife team.
Upstairs in the depot is the living area for the station agent - couldn't resist a cat on chair picture.
More shots on the gallery at richmond-terminal.org. If you are interested in more information about the club, you can check out the Club website for the depot. The Museum website here.
