I agree, you're not the first to make the Hobbit hole joke, and that was before the Lord of the Ring movies. This picture was taken after I had left the station. When I was there, the bay doors had wood fronts finished to have a rough look to them. There were bushes along the front up top and along the retaining walls on each side. There was also a tree in the planting area between the bay and station house. The bushes saved my butt many times while cutting grass. Inside, it's made up of two concrete domes. One has a skylight at the top, the other has a vent system for the bay. The back entrance is by a tunnel. It was a neat idea, but as a living quarters, it actually was awful. Think about living in a leaky basement. Wolferz, I'm sure you've driven by it a few times.
