    Wonderful image ! I didn’t realize Britt had such a sizeable station for such a small town.

    Funny you would post this. I was just looking at Britt Station on Monday. It is so forlornly decaying in a field, surrounded by brush and junk, that I couldn’t even get a decent picture of it. Looks beyond repair about a half mile from where it spent its working life.
    I had hoped, after looking at it a few years back that the new ‘owner’ had plans to restore it to a somewhat attractive condition but I guess they just filled it up with old storage items and left it to die.
