Notes About Existing Stations... Aspinwall (PRR) - Moved from original location. Bridgeville (PRR) - Heavily modified. Coraopolis (P&LE) - This was a large passenger station that handled both people and express/baggage. There is a large central tower. At one time, there were covered platforms on both sides of the tracks, with a pedestrian tunnel under the tracks. The station area was used as a stop for the daily P&LE passenger train between Beaver Falls and Pittsburgh until that service ended. The building was converted to an auto parts store in the late '70s?, which resulted in some architectural changes (a new door was put in an odd location). The station has been vacant since the business moved elsewhere. There may be an effort to preserve and renovate the building by a local railroad museum group. The station was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886) who also designed the Allegheny Courthouse and Jail. The station, originally known as the Middletown Station, was completed on February 24, 1879. Curtisville (B&LE) - Was also a scale house and Railway Express Agency. Glen Osborne (PFt.W&C) - This station was previously called Osburn, but changed its name due to another station with the same moniker. At some point the tracks were relocated away from the station, but the building remained. Ingram (PRR) - ROW is now busway for the Port Authority of Allegheny County. Passenger service ended in Nov. 1964. Passengers used the stairs in the old photo to get down to the tracks. Neville Island (????) - Part of Factory Complex at Neville Chemical? Can anyone confirm and send photo? Pittsburgh (P&LE) - Read more here about Station Square. Sewickley (PRR) - Here is another photo. Sewickley (PFt.W&C) - This old 1887 station used to sit where the newer 1929 station is now located. In 1929 it was moved by rail to Chadwick Street to make room for the new station. It is now used by the American Legion. Tarentum (PRR) - Relocated and restored from 1913-16.
