I looked through the fourth floor window of that building two streets over and the calendar on the wall says February 6 1951.Cool pic.

Hi JaBear:
I'm going to suggest the mid 50s based on the automobiles. In the 40s the cars still had the bulbous front fenders and sloped backs. There are a few of those in the picture but many of the cars in the photo are of the "3 box" design, i.e. one fairly square box for the engine/front fenders, a second taller box for the passenger compartment, and a third squarish box for the trunk and rear fenders. That became the style of the mid/late 50s as the fenders became more integrated with the front and rear boxes and the trunks were extended to provide more space.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Unless I'm mistaken, the car at the end of the parking line at the station (just across from the passenger cars) is a 1953 Chevy. It also appears to be about the newest vehicle in sight.
Spotting detail? The long teardrop behind the front fender well.

I woudl agree, 1953 sounds pretty "In the ball park".
