Here is something you don't see all the time an open air train station where you can't even get a ticket for the train. If you want a ticket you have to get it at one end of the line or the other (see webpage link).
This station was built as a way for passengers of the O.C.& T. Railroad to stop and see the historic Drake's Well and then re-board latter and finish their trip through the "Valley That Changed the World"
