That train station and the trains are magnificent. The RL world is fugly these days. Who would have thought there would be so little style in the 21st century?
A horse drawn carriage going past a Victorian home lit up by the incandescent street lamps will never be seen live again. Everything was about style back then.

1967 was a very nice year for style in US Big Three cars. Hard to find a bad looking one in the bunch!

Look at a mall parking lot today and it is hard to even figure out what make and model you are seeing.

You gotta find an open mall first. Malls are a dying breed of the 20th century, all the consoomers mostly shop online these days.

My first real car was a green 1969 Pontiac Judge GTO , tell me about it. I paid $17K for it with on 31.5K on the odometer and it was a masterpiece of a car. 17K won't even get you a junker now.

Not to be the one to rain on everyone's nostalgia parade but those old train stations never looked that way. They were patently dirty places that collected a lot of soot from the coal/steam driven locomotives. First class accommodations were certainly nice (they always have been in any age) but shining floors and gleaming engines are a figment of the artists imagination.

Regarding the comments on the 69 goat - I don't know that it was a "masterpiece" of a car but it was certainly a engineering masterpiece of a automobile wrapped around a big block engine.:)
