I love old steam trains and depots. The Livermore train depot has an interesting history. It became subject matter for a linocut.

Shortly after the 1906 earthquake

In the summer of 2017, the city of Livermore moved the historic train depot a few blocks away from it’s original location and restored it to how it looked at the turn of the 20th century.
