Beautiful 1900 train depot conversion in Hilliard, Florida has 3bds, 3ba, and is only $350K. Isn't the exterior stunning?

Lovely beamed ceilings in the large living room, an entire wall of shelving, and pine floors.

On a corner desk there are photos and historical documents about the depot.

The spacious separate dining room is outside the kitchen & former ticket window. It has a wonderful fireplace, too.

The ticket "cage" is still there.

Kitchen's so pretty.

That window gives the kitchen architectural interest.

In the primary bedroom you can see the reflection of the texture in the old plaster walls.

The spacious room opens to the deck.

What a cute vintage bath.

The second bedroom is a cute child's room.

The third bedroom is being used as an office and sewing room.

Bathroom 2 is also very nice. It fits the house.

In the back is a laundry/storage room.

Sliding barn doors outside and a huge deck. I wonder if that raised platform was for an outdoor ticket window.

On the wraparound porch is an original bench.

The attractive building is situated on 1.25 acres.

It also has an adorable shed. What a great house for the price.

ouuguuh … it would be cool if lik (going off the tags of this post) … there was a story reason as for why all the pokemon are attracted to the gear station :3 maybe theres a super ancient pokemon beneath (or somethinng similar IDK ! THEY GOT XURXITREE HOOKED UP TO THE WIRES annd its lik ghost stories lik Oooh theres emptty trains ! and spice is lik Thats not me doing it .) like its SOMETHING tahts drawing them there , whether it be another pokemon or some sort of life force or energy

THOUGHTS .... Okay giratina specifically loves trains for whatever reason and starts hanging around railyards as soon as they get invented and protects the trains from harm, seeing them as part of it's 'hoard.' Even though it's ??? weird at first the railroad workers eventually just accept Giratina's presence since it's not harming the rails or anything and it eventually becomes kindof the patron saint of trains, later becoming an influence for the design of some trains and Giratinism kindof just becomes a slightly ironic tradition for railway workers .

--> Giratina eventually hibernates in an abandoned tunnel in gear station (possibly unbeknownst to Ingo & Emmet) which attracts a lot of various types of pokemon to the area . Some of which start working at the station

#mailbox #hoof draws #submas #[ingo voice] why did you think i have a chandelure #going with this from now on .... #i think funniest option is ingo & emmet KNOW the pokemon equivalent of an all-powerful demon king is asleep under the station #like it's just an open secret . but it's fine because he likes the trains #<-elesa thinks they're fucking with her and starts asking every depot agent she sees and they're all like ? oh yeah giratina #yeah he lives in the maintenance tunnel :]

Depot Agents of Gear Station 🚉 ⚙️ reporting for duty!

——————————————————————

Relationship Chart of the Subway Bosses with their Depot Agents (Including their opinions)

Green - Appreciates

Yellow - Cordial

Blue - Neutral

Red - Dislike

Random facts:

Amy has a teensy crush on Ingo because he was a fellow kindred spirit in the occult (My HC of Ingo is he likes the horror genre and is essentially just unafraid over anything spooky lol)

Tyrone has terrible bad luck for his entire life, that he has been relegated to desk work most of the time after the disaster of his first battle

Tiáo (条 means train) is the oldest (47) among the crew and was the head conductor of the station before Ingo and Emmet replaced him (he's actually relieved for that and went to resign and became an office worker but that was more of a hassle than being in the station so he came back lol)

Isa and Axel are best friends and dating

Axel shirks his works and sometimes wheedles his boyfriend to write the reports for him

Isa's scar happened during a battle in the subway where the trainer's Bisharp's fury cutter missed his pokemon and hit him instead

Jacques and Tyrone are roommates

Jacques has high charisma that he can smooth talk his way out of anything (sometimes)

Reyna keeps everyone in line when the bosses, Isa, or Tiáo aren't in the station

Emmet and Ingo are close to Isa's zoroark, and would sometime play with her by pranking everyone with the use of her illusion

Jonah is pretty much has basic surfer + skater philosophy since he used to be one, doesn't explain why he became part of the station (because he likes using the abandoned rails to do some sweet tricks in his day offs)

Cloud is a country bumpkin that is treated like the station's cinnamon roll (he absolutely hates being coddled lol)

All of the depot agents in Gear Station adores their bosses (including their awesome GF), even if some look like they don't

This 9 aren't the full roster. If I had the time, I would totally make designs of the other depot agents who are placed in the various stations of Unova ^^)

[vanishingmoments]

v excited because i'm reaching the point in factorio where shits about to get truly deep

#ive gotten the tech to create automated trains #my current factory (singular) is running out of room to add new stuff and its pollution is starting to piss off the neighbors quite a bit #which means it is time to make a huge fucking network of mines and processing stations and factories and depots etc #yay

[tiredfictiongate]

What if we make Emmet a reincarnator. OCI, SI, whichever just some random person from our world reincarnated as Emmet.

Poor Ingo's younger twin has like 15+ years on him. Even though getting de-aged also impacted Emmet's rational thought processes.

But Emmet. Can you imagine the kind of stress Emmet would be under? Growing up with a twin sibling, a child he's going to watch grow up and grow with him, eat together, sleep together, go on their pokemon adventure together, potentially run into immortal Volo together, become subway bosses together all while knowing his brother is just going to disappear one day for an indeterminate amount of time, if ever returning. He can't even just ditch Ingo because by the time he realizes, he's already gotten attached.

I'd imagine this Emmet is going to be clingier than canon. And we can give him abandonment issues and separation anxiety for ✨ flavor ✨.

Lots of angst and emotions and anxiety and Ingo hasn't even disappeared yet.

Ingo doesn't mind staying by his brother's side forever, he's always expected that they're never going to part, ever. But Emmet is strangely anxious as if Ingo is going to disappear and leave him one day. Has always been but it's been getting worse since they became Subway Masters.

But instead of angst, how about some comedy.

Say Ingo notices Emmet's increasing anxiety and manages to pry out the whole story. Reincarnation, games and all. It's terribly disorienting knowing it all but he manages by focusing on how Emmet must have suffered knowing all this his whole life and having to deal with it alone. They work on Emmet's issues and they make plans for the possiblity that Ingo is going to disappear. They seek out the legendaries involved. They either don't find them or they do and Ingo has to hold Emmet back while they talk about what can be done about it.

And when Ingo disappears, Emmet is surprisingly calm about it. Sure he freaks out but it's not nearly as bad as expected. Especially not after Giratina itself pops in to apologize for its younger self kidnapping his brother and separating him from his sibling, like a lost forlorn puppy who broke a vase and is incredibly guilty.

Without Ingo, Emmet has no impulse control so he strikes up a deal with Giratina.

Nimbasa wakes up to a message from Gear Station's official social media page. To which they read:

Good Morning Nimbasa,

I am Emmet.

It is to my great regret to inform you all that as of last night, Subway Master Ingo has been kidnapped by a legendary. Do not worry, if all goes well, he shall be returning sometime within the next 5 years. We have a hearty confirmation from all legendaries involved.

If Ingo is late, I will be going to fight Arceus himself.

In other news, we are down a subway boss and will be welcoming a new member while we eagerly await Ingo's return.

Please give a warm welcome to Singles Line Subway Master Giratina.

(insert picture of Giratina in a little Gray Subway Boss hat)

Do not try to kidnap, capture, or otherwise control the new Subway Master or you will be banned from the entire subway station and not just the battle subway.

During this time, we are now unbanning all legendaries, however you shall be restricted to only using one.

Gear station and its employees will not be accepting any questions on this matter at this time.

Signed,

Subway Master Emmet

Nimbasa and the rest of the world are just going to have to live with it.

TRAINSPOTTING!

Lucy and Railway Transportation

Before America was ruled by the automobile, train transportation was the way to go. Lucy makes tracks for the railroad in these unforgettable moments on the (laugh) tracks.  

As a young girl, Lucy would take the train from Jamestown to New York City, hoping to fulfill her dreams of becoming a performer. The train station is now part of the National Comedy Museum. 

1933 ~ Lucille Ball joined the Goldwyn Girls on a train headed west to Tinseltown. Left to right are Katherine Mauk,Rosalie Fromson, Mary Lange,  Vivian Keefer, Barbara Pepper, Theo Phane, and Lucille Ball.

1943 ~ Lucille Ball and other well-known stars set out on a Union Pacific special train to cross America promoting the sale of War Bonds. It began in Washington DC and went through 16 American cities before ending in San Francisco 21 days later.

Fancy Pants (1950) ~ Lucille Ball and Bob Hope pose atop a railroad handcar. 

“New Neighbors” (1952) ~ When Ethel is looking through the O’Brien’s belongings, she holds up a bronze of a man on horseback. She deems it “early Pullman.”  Pullman refers to railroad sleeping cars that were built and operated by the Pullman Company from 1867 to 1968. The cars were often decorated with inexpensive items that sometimes found their way into travelers’ suitcases!  

“Tennessee Ernie Visits” & “Tennessee Ernie Hangs On” (1954) ~ Ford sings the train-themed song "The Wabash Cannonball” waking Lucy and Ricky from a sound sleep, and then again just before Lucy enters as the 'wicked city woman.' The song’s first documented appearance was on sheet music published in 1882, titled “The Great Rock Island Route” and credited to J.A. Roff. A revised version was made famous by Roy Acuff in 1936. 

Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore. Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear the lonesome hobo's call As you travel across the country on the Wabash Cannonball.

“Getting Ready” (1954) ~ Thinking about how to get to Hollywood, Lucy considers the train. The brochure Lucy reads has the Union Pacific Railroad’s logo redacted. In reality, the Union Pacific did not operate East of the Mississippi, betraying the show’s Southern California roots!

LUCY (to Ricky): You know, on the train, you can see the country you're passing through. This is little Ricky's first chance to go across the United States, so don't you think you ought to get a chance to really see it?

“First Stop” (1955) ~ On their cross-country road trip, the gang takes refuge at One Oak Cafe and Cabins. Their rundown cabin is near an unseen (but loudly heard) railroad - which causes the entire building to shake!  

“Ricky Sells The Car” (1955) ~ In this episode we learn that the gang will return to NYC by train on the Union Pacific Railroad’s new Domeliner service on the City of Los Angeles train. A rift develops between the Ricardos and Mertzes when there aren’t enough tickets in the same class. Don Brodie plays the Union Pacific Railroad clerk.

Before he entered show business, William Frawley (Fred Mertz) worked as a stenographer for the Union Pacific Railroad. 

Frawley was featured in the 1945 Deanna Durbin film Lady on a Train. The Universal release also featured future “I Love Lucy” cast members Elizabeth Patterson (Mrs. Trumbull), Edward Everett Horton (Mr. Ritter), Allen Jenkins, Fred Aldrich, Joseph Crehan, Mike Lally, Sam Harris, and Sam McDaniel, who played a train porter, just as he would in...

“The Great Train Robbery” (1955) ~ Returning from Hollywood to New York, Lucy wreaks havoc on the City of Los Angeles train. 

As set up in the previous episode, Desilu had a partnership with Union Pacific Railroad. The line operated the City of Los Angeles train from 1936 to 1971, when Amtrak took over national train service in the USA. Although it is not mentioned, the train route terminated in Chicago, where, presumably, the foursome got a connecting train to New York City, perhaps the famed 20th Century Limited.

To simulate the emergency braking of a speeding train, Desi wanted more than just actors reacting to a jolting camera, so sets were built on a spring mechanism that was triggered by the emergency brake itself. When Lucy pulled the handle, it caused the entire set to lurch forward in a sudden movement. All this is demonstrated in the special features section of the DVD release. 

As part of the partnership with UPR, Desilu was granted permission to film aboard the real Domeliner train. As there was a nearby train station, Vivian Vance, William Frawley, Kathryn Card, Frank Nelson (the conductor) and Sam McDaniel (the porter) were all featured in the location footage on the platform and doubles were not used. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, however, do not appear in any of the second unit location footage. This is the only time principal cast members (instead of doubles) went on location during the half-hour series.

Footage of Fred and Ethel enjoying the Domeliner’s dining car and lounge were cut when it was realized that movement outside the window did not line up with the episode’s continuity. Rare 16mm film footage of the scenes was discovered and allowed the cut scenes to be added to the 2005 DVD release.

The lounge, however, was recreated on the soundstage. The short scene of the Mertzes boarding the train on the platform (complete with sound), assisted by the Porter and the Conductor, was still included in future syndicated broadcasts.

“Lucy’s Italian Movie” (1956) ~ Opens in a crowded train compartment headed to Rome. Here Lucy meets a film director and thinks this is her big break. 

Band manager Fred failed to secure proper train acommodations for the overnight trip - forcing the gang into some unusual sleeping positions! 

“Lucy Hunts Uranium” (1958) ~ The hour-long episode opens in a train car headed to Las Vegas, where Ricky's band is booked to perform at the Sands Hotel and Casino. Establishing footage indicates that they are traveling on the Union Pacific Railroad. In reality, getting to Las Vegas by train from Connecticut would have meant many transfers and route changes.   

On the train they meet actor Fred MacMurray, who also gets uranium fever and races the Ricardos and Mertzes across the desert on a railroad handcar. 

“Lucy Visits the White House” (1963) ~ Lucy and Viv accompany their scout troop to Washington DC on the train. The episode features establishing footage of an actual train and station. 

The train makes stops in Greenview, Middlebrook, Flint Ridge, and Scottville. Like Danfield, all are fictional towns along a fictional railroad line.

Frank Nelson reprises his role as the frazzled train conductor, first played in “The Great Train Robbery”. 

When Lucy misses the train, she tries to catch up on horseback. This sequence was shot on the soundstage using a mechanical horse. Coincidentally, an early literary name for a train was ‘iron horse’. 

THE ‘FOREVER DARLING’ EXPRESS

Lucy and Desi board a special car provided by the Santa Fe Railroad to promote the film Forever Darling in early 1956.

The train was dubbed the “Forever Darling Special  with stops in Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City, and Ball's hometown of Jamestown, New York.

Back in Los Angeles, with Desi Jr., they admire the train that served them on their busy promotional tour. Desi is proudly wearing the cowboy hat he’d been given in Fort Worth.

TRAIN DEPOTS

“Off to Florida” (1956) ~ When Lucy misplaces their train tickets to Miami Beach, she and Ethel must share a car ride to Florida with Edna Grundy, a woman they suspect might be a hatchet murderess.  At the end of the cross-fade between the second unit footage of the “North Miami” train station and the studio set of the same location, Lucy and Ethel’s doubles can be briefly glimpsed walking down the tracks on the left.

“Lucy and the Loving Cup” (1957) ~ Unable to tell where she is, Lucy gets off the subway train at the Flatbush Avenue station. 

LUCY: Pardon me. Can you tell me where the stairs are? STRAP-HANGER: Well, you'd better get off the train first. LUCY: I am off. STRAP-HANGER: You're telling me.

“Lucy Misses the Mertzes” (1957) ~ The scene at the Westport Train Station is in the best tradition of farce, with both couples narrowly missing one another in the same space.

“Lucy and the Mustache” (1960) ~ Disguised as Ernie Kovacs’ chauffeur, Lucy parks outside the Westport train station. 

“Lucy Wants a Career” (1959) ~ Lucy and Ricky only see each other at Grand Central Station, one of the most famous train stations ever built. There is establishing footage of Grand Central. 

“No More Double Dates” (1962) ~ At the Danfield Train Station, Lucy and Harry narrowly miss Viv and Eddie when trying to have independent dates.  When Lucy and Harry lie about missing their train, Eddie notes that the next one only makes one stop - in New Rochelle. The real-life New York town has already been mentioned several times in the series, establishing that Danfield (and nearby Ridgebury) are similar commuter suburbs of Manhattan.  

“Lucy Visits the White House” (1963) ~ Lucy gets off the train at the Greenview Station to hunt down sugar cubes to rebuild the cubs’ sugar cube White House. 

“Lucy is a Process Server” (1964) ~ Charged with serving Mr. Mooney, Lucy tracks him to the Danfield Train Station. 

“Main Street U.S.A.” (1967) ~ Lucy and Mr. Mooney arrive in the small town of Bancroft by train. 

TOY TRAINS

“The Attic” (1949) ~ An episode of Lucille Ball’s radio series in which George and Liz (Lucille Ball) clean out the attic and get locked in.  

GEORGE: Hey, look at that! My wonderful electric train.  LIZ: Well, I haven't heard you use that tone since you proposed.  GEORGE: Oh, gosh, I haven't seen this train in years. LIZ: Well, you certainly have no use for it now. Out it goes. GEORGE: Take your hand off that box! It stays! LIZ: Oh, George, don't be silly! GEORGE: Now, who's being silly? That train doesn't leave this house. LIZ: Now, that's being practical. There's nothing as useful as an electric train. In fact, we should get another one for me. We can race them every night before we go to bed!  GEORGE: Yeah. I guess you're right. Out it goes. LIZ: I'll let you keep your train if you let me keep my corsage collection. GEORGE: It's a deal!

LUCY: “Look out for the Super Chief! Woo Woo!”

“The Ricardos Change Apartments” (1953) ~ Lucy fills the apartment with Little Ricky’s toys, including a Lionel Electric Train Set, to convince him they need a larger apartment. 

“Little Ricky Gets Stage Fright” (1957) ~ Little Ricky is discovered playing with his Keystone Toy Railroad, a wooden train set made by the Keystone Manufacturing Company. The box is tucked under the bed.

“The ‘I Love Lucy’ Christmas Show” (1956) ~ Lionel Trains are under the Christmas tree for Little Ricky. 

“My behind-the-scenes memoris are just the toys on the set. The writers, Madelyn and Bob, gave me a Lionel Train set and that was a real big treat for me as a kid.” ~ Keith Thibodeaux (Little Ricky)

“Lucy and the Efficiency Expert” (1966) ~ Oliver Kasten (Phil Silvers) sits in front of red blow mold locamotives at the Grantland Toy Factory where Lucy is employed on the production line. 

THE SUBWAY

“Tennessee Ernie Visits” (1954) ~ Ernie explains the subway. 

ERNIE: I asked a fella how to get to the Rickerdos'. Well, he said, "Take the subway." Well, he pointed over there to a hole in the ground with some steps a-going down in it. I went down in there, and do you know what I saw?  A bunch of people a-standing there looking in a ditch. Well, here come two streetcars hooked up together. All that bunch of people come a-steamin' up there pushed me through that door, shut it up, and we took off like a scalded gander. Well, sir, we drove and drove and drove and do you know what? RICKY: What? ERNIE: That driver never got that thing out of that hole.

“Lucy and the Loving Cup” (1957) ~ When Lucy gets a loving cup stuck on her head, she must take the subway to Brooklyn to get it off. The episode features establishing footage of the New York Subway trains, although the footage was reversed. 

The subway car was recreated on the Desilu soundstage in Hollywood.
