| Notes About Existing
Stations... Elizabethville (PRR) - Now houses Dauphin County Weatherization. Tracks were torn up in 1976 and the last passenger train was 1958. The original Lykens Valley Railroad was first constructed around 1834. It was used to haul coal to the Wiconisco Canal in Millersburg, and from there to the Pennsylvania Canal. The PRR owned collieries in Wiconisco in the late 1800's, as did the RDG. The RDG came over the mountains to the east via Pine Grove, Tremont and Tower City - while the PRR used the LVRR to haul the coal from Lykens/Wiconisco and Williamstown to the Northern Central RR in Millersburg, which by this time ran from Harrisburg to Sunbury on the east shore of the Susquehanna River. There are three railroad right of ways on the Broad Mountain from Wiconisco east to Williamstown and on to Tower City. -- Troy Snyder Harrisburg (PRR) - Third station at this site. Earlier stations were built in 1837 and 1857. Middletown (RDG) - Station built after the Middletown & Hummelstown RR became part of the RDG. |
