Is the station still opened? Just curious. I'm sure if it is still opened, it looks a bit different.  :grinyes:

Unfortunately it didn't survive after the freeway system went through and changed the main traffic flow.  I just found a few photos in some forgotten slides from my dads basement.  Pretty interesting stuff from the early 40's through the mid seventies.
