Big Change on Pine Street by the Amtrak Depot in Paso Robles

As I was driving downtown to return some books at the Paso Robles Library yesterday, I accidently turned on 6th Street instead of 10th, and I took it to Pine so I could skip the stop signs on Park. When I got to Pine I almost thought I was in the wrong city. There was a "Do not enter" sign facing me before I turned left, and I saw that while I'd been sticking to Spring Street these past few weeks, someone built a new parking area along Pine between 6th and 7th Streets. That was quite a big change by the Amtrak Depot in Paso Robles. After I left the library, I returned to take some pictures.

I happened to arrive just after a northbound train had pulled in and was picking up  passengers. Notice the conductor taking tickets as people board. You can also see the trees reflected in the windows of the train. If you click on the photos they will enlarge so you can see them better.

  1. It's funny how visiting an area we haven't been to in a while reveals what City Hall has been up to!

    1. I was checking back in my photo files yesterday while trying to find a certain dog photo and this change took place not all that long ago. Our city hall is alway up to something.

  2. Always fun to find new things about your community. Glad to see passenger trains are still in operation. Wish it was so everywhere like it used to me. I LOVE train travel.

    1. Someday we may take this train if we can figure out where it goes directly from the station. Many destinations require taking the bus to the San Luis Obispo Station 30 miles south of here or driving there to take the train the rest of the way.
