GH0348 G 135 -- Perry OK - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Blasterz love these old ATSF depots with their classic Mission Revival styling and distinctive Santa Fe touches.

BUT -- We hate the references to racial segregation that are still found on these datasheets from the 1930s. :(

NOW we understand the reason for all the crumbling concrete benches outside the south side of the depot. We thought it was for a picnic area for all patrons -- but -- guess not. :(
