This is where it is.  The car is outbound.

The thing that strikes me about most of these is how little of the surrounding geography is shown.  Why do we dote on the equipment and not on where it worked?  The airplane people do the same thing...it would be great to see airport facilities as they were in their time, but the photographers for the most part didn't capture that.

I guess that I and a few of my friends are the oddballs.

How about the stop before this outbound 56 car ducks under Lebanon Church Road??
