LANCASTER  COUNTY

Christiana (PRR - Passenger) - This is an interesting one-story structure built of brick, stucco and "half-timber" style, with a low hipped roof. Philadelphia and Columbia RR stone blocks are found in curious places throughout the town.

Christiana (PRR - Combination) - Restored by the Lancaster chapter of the NRHS. Originally used for freight and passengers, later just for freight.

Columbia (R&C) - Restored in 2001.

Cordelia (RDG) - Only remaining flag stop in Lancaster Co. Rebuilt on earlier foundation. Roof sheathing is old wood walls including the station sign.

East Petersburg (RDG) - At the RR Museum of Pennsylvania. This station was moved to East Strasburg from East Petersburg. It was formerly on the Reading and Columbia branch of the Reading RR. The station was designed by Frank Furness ("Frank Furness, The Complete Works" by G. Thomas/J Cohen/M. Lewis, Revised ed., 1996).

Gap (PRR) - This is a freight station. The passenger station was located about 100 feet to the east (track direction). It is in very poor condition (a tree is growing through part of the roof!). It is in the style of the other very early brick railroad buildings on this line and may be a leftover of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad era.

Landisville (PRR) - Station is built on foundation of old tower that controlled crossing of Reading. There is office in the station for the tower operator.

Lititz (Replica) - The original station at Lititz was demolished in 1957. The replica of the Lititz passenger station was built in the exact spot the original station stood. It is along the tracks and in the park (the tracks boarder the one side of the park). The tracks end on the east side of town about 1/4 mile past the freight station. At one time the tracks continued onto Ephrata, Denver, and Reading. The line was known as the Reading and Columbia branch on the Reading Railroad. Today the tracks no longer exist between Lititz and Ephrata. -- Jeff Smith

Marietta (PRR) - The building across the street that now houses the Railroad House B&B also served as station for a brief time before the railroad built the station.

Millway (R&C) - The mill was the agent for railroad.

Refton (PRR) - On Quarryville track which was abandoned in 1972.

Salunga (PRR) - This building was in fact the Salunga PRR station. When the tracks were realigned in the mainline improvement project in the 1890's, the building was sold to the Conestoga Traction company and used as a rotary station. The obvious evidence is the sturdiness of the structure and the presence of platforms and the street is named Railroad Ave. It is also shown in Bridgens Atlas (1889) as PRR (Lancaster County Historical Society). It is also reported as an existing building when bought by the Conestoga Traction Company in 1898 (CTC Annual Report 1900). - Kevin Landis
