Location

The ticket office in the station building closed on February 22, 1952.[2] By 1962, the former station building was relocated to the Pleasure Island amusement park for use on an antique railroad.[3][4] The façade of the Lomita Railroad Museum, located 2,608 miles (4,197 km) away in Lomita, California, is a replica of the original Greenwood station.[5]
