Santa Barbara, California Amtrak Station, A U.S. Railroad
The passenger rail station in Santa Barbara is between the beach and the freeway. |
 |
A mural marked the entrance to the station. In addition to a picture of a train passing the
station, were the last two digits of the 209 address.

 |
A classic Spanish-style station with its arched waiting area, February flowers and palm trees.
|
 |
Arches, with rain spouts extended out between them, formed a welcome border between shade for those awaiting a train's arrival, and the sunny platform.
|
 |
Inside, beyond an arch labeled "Santa Barbara," stood the entry doorway.
|
 |
The ticket counter was built of wood and located to the left of the entry door as one entered.
|
 |
A woodcut piece of art on the wall depicted a Spanish Vaquero with a lariat over his head.
That art provided a backdrop for the display of advertising pamphlets.
|
 |
The classic wooden bench found in all old train and bus stations.
