Notes About Existing Stations...

Girard (LS&MS) - Girard Station was the original name for the station on the LS&MS. When the town of North Girard was established the station took that name. In the mid 50's the town name was changed to Lake City. I spent many hours as a youngster at the station when the freight agent was still there. At one time both the NYC and PRR had passenger service to North Girard, as late as the late 40's. The tracks are the old New York Central water level route from Buffalo to Erie to Cleveland. The Pennsylvania had trackage rights from Girard Junction a few miles west of North Girard to Dock Junction on the west side of Erie, PA where I-79 now crosses the tracks. The people that bought the station and made it a restaurant called it Girard Station as the sign shows but the station is in the center of "downtown" Lake City, PA. --C. Melville Hazen

Girard (NKP) - In order to move the bldg. it was split in half and moved one section at a time. When you see it today you can still see where it was split, they never covered it up.

Lake City (Unknown) - I have been told that this is a railroad station that was converted into a residence at 500 Culbertson Drive. Can anyone verify this for sure?

Northeast (LS&MS) - Houses the Lake Shore Railway Historical Society Museum.

Northeast (LS&MS) - This was the original passenger/freight station in North East. It was moved west about 400 feet when the LS&MS built the "new" passenger station in 1899. After it was moved it served as a freight station. The brick passenger station was last used by NYC 1960 and the wooden combo station was last used in 1957. The Lake Shore Railway Museum features several locos, passenger cars, and rolling stock on the grounds.

West Springfield Station (NYC) - Moved from original location. Now used for storage on a farm.
