Forgotten.

Control Point Elvira under a bridge in San Diego, CA. Control Point Elvira (at the edge of Marian Bear Park) used to be a busy place. The railroad went through Rose Canyon in 1881. Some time in the 1920s the Elvira flag stop station was built, with bunkhouses, a water tank, equipment sheds, and other railroad necessities. The rumor is, Santa Fe's flag stop stations and sidings were named after people in the company; Elvira was the wife of some railroad bigwig. In the 1930s they built a siding at Elvira to serve the sheep stockyards in the area and the other businesses in the canyon. The station eventually became obsolete and was torn down in 1959, though the sign remains.

These are dotted right across Helsinki. Anyone know what they're for?

Saw her, had no time to bring the camera to my eyes. Slowly tilted the camera at waist height and shot, hoping to get it.
