Take a journey back to the heyday of America's iconic Route 66 with this evocative black-and-white photograph of the abandoned Union 76 gas station in Needles, California. The striking gull wing canopy and rustic gas pumps offer a nostalgic glimpse into the past—a relic of classic roadside Americana that once served travelers along this legendary highway.
This particular gas station was immortalized in Ed Ruscha's 1963 book, Twentysix Gasoline Stations, capturing a moment in time now lost to modern development. Today, it's no longer possible to photograph the station from the same angle that Ruscha did, due to an overpass for I-40 that now obstructs the original view. This image captures the essence of what's left—a reminder of how progress has reshaped the landscape.
