Hello Deedon --- (or is it now Dondee !)
Thank you -- and I understand your situation.
I provided you my own night photo I took standing ON the gas station lot looking "northward" (actually in reality outbound, "eastward" ) towards the EL and it's downtown (inbound) track side of the Vanderbilt Avenue station house and platform on Myrtle Avenue -- see below.
I assumed THIS photo and it's view-scene was sufficient for what you were relating .
However, here are your quoted comments from your above reply ....
" .....but still haven't found a picture from anybody looking from North towards Vanderbilt avenue station opposite ESSO gas station. Hopefully someone has a photo so that I can confirm my nostalgic visions perspectively...."
OK -- so please explain what you mean as to WHAT are the "nostalgic visions perspectively" you need to "confirm". Confirm what, and why ?
Attached is a current street view similar to what your above quoted comments may reflect. Of course, the EL is long gone 45 years now, and note that now the former ESSO Gas Station, later EXXON, and in recent years, the GULF Gas Station at left of photo, is also gone and now a vacant lot. PS: I DO like the return of the old cast iron "Corvington" class streetlights -- as you know, I also model these "Corvington" style cast iron ornamental streetlights, on my EL layout
Is this the "north" view you are looking for, under or along the EL from that sidewalk at left ??
