Seen in Woodward Ok.

A different style Shamrock sign

Anyone have any idea what kind of station this was?

Looks like Sinclair to me, but I'm no expert.

Here is a cool pdf field guide. a similar station is on page 58.

tagree0, Thanks for the info on the station and the site. jack

This station is in santa Rosa N.M.

The service bays and the office area were still loaded with stuff, I think the station has been closed for quite a while as the last few times I have gone thru Santa Rosa it has looked the same.

That Exxon station is kind of creepy, like it just was abandoned and frozen in time...

Located in Kanarraville Ut.

Neat stations Jack. I could use that badge on the front of that IH truck for my just about done IH gas tanker.

Gothamgas spotted this in Utah while on vacation. Pumps are still in use to fill farm equipment.

Been to the above mentioned station in Utah, in fact I ate at the cafe next door if memory serves me...I asked about the pumps and the waitress told me the tanks were still underground and were slowly leaking gas.

It is in middle of nowhere... there was also an 1920s-30s abandoned Texaco station in that town that I rooted around in...

Located in Cedar City Ut.

WOW!!! That Beeline sign is incredible!! I'll bet all of that paint will come off with the slightest bit of effort (most of it has come off with no effort at all), and you'd be left with a perfectly preserved Beeline sign. I don't see any flaws on the sign. Did you ask if they'd be willing to sell it? I don't know much about the brand, but I like the logo and the Beeline globes look cool too. That sign would look perfect in my living room.

Tagree, I didn't talk with onyone on the Beeline sign as the business was closed while I was there but your right it's a nice big sign and the paint over is just falling off. Jack
