(rshsdepot) Florida depots and Oakland

[PWHowat_@_aol.com]

I am visiting Florida very briefly in July (on my way from a railfan visit to 
Ecuador and Peru) and want to see and photograph some railroad depots in the 
Miami area, extending over to Naples (where I will be staying at Bonita 
Springs for one night). This is a part of an ongoing project where I have 
visited many depots, east, mid and west, over several years. 

It seems to me that I should seek out the following, based on Michael 
Henley's list:

Hialeah, Opa-Locka, Hallandale, Hollywood, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, 
Naples, Fort Myers, Everglades City. 

Are there any others within reach, and are any of the above ones really not 
worth visiting? 

On another tack, I visited Oakland SP depot in 1992. It was then said to be 
about to be demolished and had a very large crack in one wall, following the 
1989 earthquake. Is it still there?
