Notes About Existing Stations...

Berwick (DL&W) - Station is in good shape except for wood parts. It is surrounded by, and filled with, junk (at Decker's Scrap Yard). Was built in 1904 to replace one that burned. There were 100 steps down to the station from Front and Chestnut which were torn out around 1970.

Bloomsburg (CP&W) - This station was part of the Carroll Park & Western excursion RR which is now closed. More info here.

Catawissa (Catawissa RR) - There was a fire on Dec 29, 2000 that heavily damaged the 2nd floor of the station. The owner has rebuilt the damaged sections. See his site for updates.

Forks (B&S) - The red building nearby that looks like a freight station was actually the hotel livery barn.

Orangeville (RDG) - See interior photo also.

Turbotville (SB&B) - Moved to the museum in the 1960s from Turbotville in Northumberland County. The museum was closed after damage from Hurricane Agnes in 1972.
