The California State Railroad Museum will debut the second set of the fascinating, documentary-style sketches as part of a continuing exhibit titled "Wedlock’s Gift: California Railroad Depot Images in Ink." In the 1970s and after realizing the many of the historic railroad depots were in danger of being demolished, commercial artist Walter J. Wedlock went on a quest to sketch the depots in a race against time and the wrecking ball. Wedlock sketched the compelling images on-the-spot after tracking down the various depots built primarily between the 1880s and the late 1930s. A few highlights of the second set of sketches include the following: the picturesque and charming Menlo Park station that opened in 1867 and still serves Caltrain commuters today; the Placentia station of the Santa Fe Railway, built in 1910, was the second that Wedlock drew and was demolished a week after he completed his sketch in 1971; and two stations in Fullerton built in 1922 and 1930 that are still standing today, one serving as a busy stop for Amtrak and Metrolink trains and the other of which has been moved and adapted for reuse as a restaurant. More information about the "Wedlock’s Gift" exhibit is available by calling the California State Railroad Museum at 916-445-6645 or visiting www.californiastaterailroadmuseum.org.
