Notes...

Milton - Milton Police Dept. The station at Milton which was part of the PRR was formerly of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad not the Northern Central Railroad. The Northern Central stopped at Sunbury though it was a part owner the in the Northumberland yard before it was absorbed into the PRR. --Greg Stone

The northern central also owned the Williamsport to Elmira branch at one time but it did not own the tracks or stations between Sunbury and Williamport.

Northumberland PRR - Station also used for DL&W Bloomsburg connection. Though wooden "rooms" have been added to extend the restaurant, the station is brick; one can see the brick in the 2nd floor but also in the original exterior walls now inside the restaurant. --Gary Lapointe

Northumberland DL&W - The tracks that originally served this building (west side) were removed. The existing tracks are of former Erie origin and are on the east side of the building, and are about 150 ft. away. Concrete sign at north end of building clearly says: "Lackawanna Freight House."

Riverside - This town was formerly called South Danville. The station is being restored--not clear what its use will be.

Shamokin - The windows of this station are now boarded up and the platform gone. It was last used as a bus station. 1935 was the last time it was used as a passenger train stop. The station is within a block or two of the Lower Anthracite Model Railroad Club at 210 East Independence Street.

Sunbury RDG - First railroad station in the world to use electric light.
