Railroad		 Notes
Cherry Tree Photo taken circa 1930. Second station to exist on site, replaced original one which burned down. According to engineering maps, station was situated on Cherry Tree & Dixonville Railroad property, at the northernmost end of the PRR's Susquehanna Extension Branch. Note the PRR style station sign, without the Keystone (possibly a hint to the joint NYC/PRR CT&D operations). New York Central passenger operations ceased circa 1930s. Pennsylvania/Cherry Tree & Dixonville passenger operations ceased 1947. For more info on this area see Henry Statkowski's Cherry Tree & Dixonville pages.

Clymer This station was located on the Western Branch of the Cherry Tree & Dixonville Railroad in Clymer, Pennsylvania. It served both the New York Central and the Pennsylvania railroads.

Notes About Existing Stations...

Blairsville (PRR) - This was the first station in the town of Blairsville. Due to the Johnstown Flood of 1889, the railroad right-of-way and station site was relocated to higher ground. This put the main line the greater part of a mile east, and so a new station was constructed.

Saltsburg (Northern Pennsylvania RR) - Built by local stone masons John Martin and S.S. Jamison. The Northwestern PA RR was acquired by the Western Pennsylvania RR in 1860s and then by the PRR in 1880. When the PRR acquired the station, it moved the line and built a new station in 1884 on Washington St. The station served as town hall from 1886-1927, a bowling alley from 1950-1978, and currently  houses borough offices and the police department. A fire destroyed part of the building in 1978 and the appearance was altered.
