The PASO ROBLES’ Train Depot, w/Cameos of its Wineries & Cayucos Beach

[@myexpressways4106]

You have inspired me in so many ways with your joyful spirit and passion for trains, dancing, good food and friends. I am joining your Conductor's Club today. You have truly created a community that is so essential in these challenging times. Online or in person, respectful relationships are the key ingredient to peace of mind. So glad your home survived. It will likely still be stressful to witness the devastation of your community and to hear the stories of loss. I wish you all the best. Thank you for your contribution of love and joy.

@@myexpressways4106 thank you for your support and for being a part of this community and a new member of my Conductor’s Club 🤗☺️

Your Videos are always friendly and welcoming. I look forward to your Future Videos.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

: ) I'm so glad you connect with them. It's a crazy time on my end with life changes / the Palisades fire that is still burning, but I am determined to share another new episode in the coming week.

[@randallhawkinson4727]

When I was a police officer there is 1990 to 1995, it seemed all I was doing was "escorting" folks out of the then original building. When I returned years later, I was very pleased with the restoration work that had been done. Mainly, it was the site restoration that went on all around the building. I almost didn't recognize it. I'm glad you dropped by my old stomping grounds and refused your right to be silent about it.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@randallhawkinson4727 you used to work in Paso Robles? Need to hear that you spent a lot of time at the depot there!

[@douglasstrother6584]

The Central Coast is my favorite area to get away from the grind of Torrance.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@douglasstrother6584 Oh, wow - you’re in Torrence! I used to live in Hermosa Beach and am thinking about moving to Manhattan Beach. How is the air quality down there? And yes, I definitely look forward to spending way more time on the Central Coast. I enjoyed getting to explore there and SB county recently… relaxed and clean, with friendly people.

[@douglasstrother6584]

@@LisaKEntertainment The weather is always great (but we gripe about the Marine Layer) and traffic is always bad! ;) Normally, the air quality is fine.

[@thomasbeutel7931]

Thanks for showing us around the depot, it looks great in the sunshine. I'm glad you are well. I look forward to your next videos and conductor chats!

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Thank you so very much, Thomas. I have another episode coming up in a beautiful place that includes an old southern Pacific car and some Trainspotting ☺️

It's a nice area Lisa and really enjoy the video and I hope you're okay

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@Sim0nTrains Curious if your top three recommendations in trains and travel spots in your country.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@Sim0nTrains And thank you! Yeah, I’m headed home tonight for the first time in over two weeks. The fire is still going, though!

[@Sim0nTrains]

@@LisaKEntertainment There loads and it can be a hard answer but if there a top 3 it would be.... Railway Lines to travel on 1) Settle to Carlisle Railway, Trains run from Leeds to Carlisle, some stunning scenery in the north of England 2) Kyle of Lochalsh Line, Trains run from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh and it some stunning Scottish scenery 3) Heart of Wales Line which trains run from Shrewsbury (England) to Swansea (Wales) as that line has some stunning scenery Trains 1) Mallard the steam locomotive, that is on display at the National Railway Museum in York (which would be a good travel spot as well) 2) Flying Scotsman, just a celebrity Steam locomotive that draws people in, think that currently hanging around on different heritage railways 3) Class 43 High Speed Train, these trains are still in passenger service with Great Western Railway and ScotRail but some are now on heritage railways as they been replaced by modern trains Travel Locations 1) York, the station and the National Railway Museum is lovely 2) Severn Valley Railway, lovely heritage line which runs from Kidderminster in Worcestershire to Bridgnorth in Shropshire 3) It's a hard one to find a 3rd one for a top 3 as over in the UK we have so much history with our Railways, this year we're celebrating 200 years since the 1st passenger train ran on the Stockton and Darlington Railway

[@Sim0nTrains]

@@LisaKEntertainment That's awesome to hear about you heading home but hope the firefighters do control that fire

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@Sim0nTrains I had to go through a checkpoint because only residents were being let into Topanga. And if I had kept heading south, I would’ve eventually gone past the Sepulveda fire, which is brand new today. Back home, things look normal and are seemingly zen… but feels like a bit of precarious chaos not far away.

[@harrisonallen651]

I’m glad you’re finally got the strength to go back to your original routine prior to the evacuation

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Just got home last night. But packing my bags... Unsettling time, but really wanting to get another episode out in the next week max : )

Good day Lisa, Paso Robles what a great town. A lot of things to do. Hope you are doing well.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@MarkTheLostTraveler have you been there before? If so, curious if you have any recommendations.

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

@@LisaKEntertainment I went to the Estrella Warbird Museum, Pioneer Museum and a couple of wineries forgot the names of those. Had a great lunch at Jeffry's Wine Country BBQ. If the weather is nice eat out in the courtyard.

[@nscalestation]

Paso Robles is a great place. Have been to a number of train shows at the mid state fairgrounds there and also camped at the RV park near the airport for wine tasting weekends.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

I love that! It sounds like the train show that wasn’t quite long ago had so much going on. They had a long weekend of really cool events scheduled. I’m blanking on the name of it at the moment, but I met someone at the national train show who told me about it.

[@frankbruno9499]

Went on a job interview over 50 years ago in Paso Robles when the owner, Mr Stanford, of the Oaks drive-in and the Fox Theatre was retiring.Absolutely beautiful area.I had previously worked in NYC,San Francisco and LA and was afraid that I could not adapt to the slower pace, ask me now,I'll be on the next Coast Starlight. Let the wine tasting begin!

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@frankbruno9499 where do you live, now? That’s so interesting. I, too, lived in San Francisco prior to LA both places span about 16 years for me. I’ve definitely been feeling out Santa Barbara County and SLO County and wondering about the pace and available happenings / stimulation level etc. Good to hear how it was for you. It definitely seemed clean, calm, and the people were friendly and relaxed. I only went to a couple wineries, so I definitely need to go back for a whole lot more.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Love that you’ve been there, too! Do you have a recommendation for another place in the area?

[@harrycalahan1848]

@LisaKEntertainment most of that area is wine country and agriculture. I do know train lines built most of the surrounding city's and towns. Your not far from where James dean passed away and Hurst castle.

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Wineries? Now THAT got my attention! 🤩 (One look at my last name and you'll know why!) It's always a good day when you post Lisa! I hope everything's going well with you! And it's VERY good to see that Paso Robles station repurposed into something useful. Those classic old railroad stations are just too heritage-laden to lose! Thanks for posting!

[@phoolb7326]

Nice to see that you are doing well and enjoying the central coast. SLO and Paso have a special place in my heart as I went to CalPoly and have spent much time in Paso as well. You might want to drop by Central Coast Trains in Atascadero as they have been a dealer for a long time. In college we would (once or twice) hop on a train in SLO heading north as they split it to add helpers going up Cuesta Grade and then jump off at the top where 101 crosses the tracks.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Happy to connect with you and hear about your time at Cal Poly. I discovered the House of Bread - yum! And Avila Beach... so beautiful. Friendly people. I need to get back there to visit Central Coast Trains sometime - thanks for the recommendation!

[@travisemerson933]

you're not too far from some VERY historic steamers in Santa Margarita, check out the Pacific Coast Railroad, I'm pretty sure I've suggested this recently before. I'm glad you're getting out, enjoy SLO county!

[@ChristopherWright-wh8gk]

Hi Lisa how are you doing? It's me Christopher wright. How is your house and do you have your expansive musical instruments and your train sets too because of the arnos and lotting as well going into people houses and stealing from the ones that got from the fires? I hope that everything is okay and that you got your expansive musical instruments and your train sets? Well take have a good day and I hope that you have your expansive musical instruments and your train sets too. I used to have train sets and Franklin mint train engines I had a hard time of getting them because the grandmother didn't want to get it them well guess I did plus musical train sets too. But unfortunately stolen from me. Along with with my baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, bowling cards, NASCAR cards, and Big foot cards of my favorite monster truck big foot even videos big foot family poster. My racing collection, my monster trucks collection and Big foot as well. Racing program books with the racing cars drivers autographs and monster trucks drivers autographs too. Ohh yeah especially my first train set the big rail that my great great not sure how many greats grandfather but he gave it me and unfortunately stolen as well. It's hard to start over when you lost beginnings of your train sets. Any way do you know that your parents have big rail train sets please and thank you. Sincerely Christopher wright

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@ChristopherWright-wh8gk my dear, Christopher, I will post a picture tomorrow on here, on the community tab. Happy to report that my trains, a musical instruments and everything are totally fine. I would’ve been pretty devastated, otherwise, I just feel so much for all the people who have lost everything sent sentimental to them.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@ChristopherWright-wh8gk also, I’m really sorry to hear that you had things special to use stolen.

[@ChristopherWright-wh8gk]

@@LisaKEntertainment yes it is Lisa does your dad have big rail in his train hobbies shop or to expansive to sell it. Because it runs from $1,000.00 up to $2,000.00 no way I can afford that. I did find a cheaper Big rail but the problem is not guaranteed that everything is together and working plus no return either that's I didn't get it I would like everything included and good working conditions too. Now Lisa since everything okay did you get your musical instruments and your train sets out of the house and safe with you so you can have fun playing your instruments and your train sets too? Yes Lisa it is sad that people had lost everything in the fires and 28 people lost their lives and so far 30 horses Lost their lives in the barn they couldn't get out, and 1 mother is taken hard when she saw the fire thought they wore safe decided to stay the next morning saw that the fire gotten worse and headed to her cottage house which he has trouble walking and needs wheelchair to move around. She called her son and told her mom to save her self don't worry about me. She grabbed what she could and found the fire department rushed to his cottage house and sadly to late it was up in flames. Fire fighters put out the fire but no sign of her son. The last words to either other is I love you. She regrets it and wished that left when she saw the fire so she can still have her son. This is so hard Lisa I can you help her with lost of her son in the fires. I mean how can help her with lost of her son and his memories gone too?
