What a joy it is to see the Burlingame Avenue Train Station peopled again. Ok the ladies waiting for the train are only mannequins but these ladies are very elegantly dressed in vintage costumes from the Victorian era and beyond. There is also a photo of Mrs. Gates taken at the station in 1895 and a mannequin similarly dressed minus the gentlemen and dogs in the photo!

Thanks to the Burlingame Historical Society for bringing our station "alive" with a touch of elegance!

    What a classy way to decorate the station. The clothes are gorgeous.

    The “Ladies in waiting” display, viewable from the outside of the Burlingame Train Station was made possible by a grant from the San Mateo County Historical Association and the hardwork of several volunteers from The Burlingame Historical Society. Good job all!!
