Shippensburg
AND
 Station was located between West King Street and West Orange Street next to where the Sunoco gas station is now located. After passenger service stopped, the station was used as the Shippensburg Public Library for many years before it was demolished.

The station was shared by both railroads since they both terminated in Shippensburg.  Passengers coming from Harrisburg had to leave the P & R train and board the WM train to continue to Hagerstown. Just the opposite going the other way. There were occasional run thru trains. Also, the P&R tracks had to cross over the Cumberland Valley Railroad trains just east of the CVRR station on East Earl Street. The CVRR would not let the P&R cross at grade so that had to go over the CVRR. Passengers were forced to walk the block from one station to the other if they needed to get on a different railroad.

Shippensburg This was the stop for the Cumberland Valley State Normal School (now Shippensburg University). The tracks bordered the campus.
