Tehachapi Train Depot

                                               

This was what our train depot looked like in the middle of its renovation's The train Depot has been here almost since the start of the town. It needed a lot of work

They had just finished the renovations to the outside and were working on the inside. When it caught on fire, due to fire works. A group of people accidentally aimed a roman rocket  at it. Since they saved and used as much of the old wood as they could. It didn't take long for it to go up in flames.

These are pictures of the depot after it's second renovation.About a year and a half later.

 

The benches carry the names of the donors. We couldn't of done it with out them.

They also added tables and chairs for tourist to enjoy the day. Or have a nice lunch before going inside. Please join me on a tour inside the depot.
