Thank You, Brian -
Yes, Colorado Blvd - aka 'Route 66' - rings a bell. That would have been the way we traveled west through Azusa from Glendora to Pasadena – long before the 210 freeway – and the old train would have been on the south side of the highway and fairly easily accessed on our way home. I'll probably pass away muttering "EAT - AT - EATONS" just like what's-his-name was muttering "Rosebud", and some foamer will wonder if that was the original name of Kelly's in Chama or maybe The Dutch Mill in Antonito . . .
