Very interesting, not only from a historical perspective, but from an informational one as well. I imagine there were many rural railroad stations across the nation that had living quarters for the station agent on the second floor above the station.
When I lived in San Diego County back in the 1980s, I was fascinated with that region's railroad history. While driving around Del Mar back in 1991, I snapped this photo of the Del Mar station, which was formerly an Amtrak San Diegan stop, and before that, a Santa Fe station. The agent lived upstairs. The trains no longer stop at Del Mar, but now at Solana Beach, a little farther up the line. The wife and I took an Amtrak Surfliner trip from San Diego up to Los Angeles and back last February and it was good to see the old Del Mar station still standing.
