Perrysville (Port Royal) |
|
Port Royal was originally named Perrysville, after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. At the time, the Port Royal post office was located in Saint Tammany town, just across the Tuscarora Creek. However, the Pennsylvania Railroad brought increased traffic through the area and prompted a move of the Port Royal post office into Perrysville in 1847. In 1874, the borough took on the name itself and Saint Tammany became known as Old Port. The station in the photo is the predecessor of the one below. It was on the northwest side of Milford Street (when it used to cross the tracks), on the northeast side of the tracks (GPS: 40.534734,-77.384584). There was a freight station across the tracks to the NE of the passenger station (GPS: 40.534734,-77.384584). | ||||||

| Notes About Existing
Stations... Mifflin (PRR) - Eastbound platforms are gone but subway is intact. Station in relatively good condition. Nearby interlocking tower torn down in the 1980s. Tuscarora Springs (PRR) - Moved from an unknown location. Perhaps from Tuscarora, which was down the tracks to the SW a few miles? Does anyone know for sure? Located 100 feet from active Norfolk Southern tracks. Located at the site of the former SnowPeak ski area. Waterloo (TVRR) - Station was moved here from its original location. It retains its original station sign. |
