This is the second Bauru station of the E.F. Noroeste do Brasil, which was inaugurated in September 1, 1939 - yes, the same day World War II began... One can see in the top of the building the acronyms "E.F.S." in the left, "N.O.B." in the middle and "C.P." in the right - they designated the respective offices of the E.F. Sorocabana, E.F. Noroeste do Brasil and Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro. The original photo is in the January 1960 issue of the Revista Noroeste; copy is courtesy of Ricardo Frontera, from Bauru, SP.
