B&O Depot: (
Satellite, the highway has been built over some of the depot's land.)
B&O Freight: (
Satellite, the highway has been built on the land.)
Erie: (
Satellite, the depot must have been torn down a long time ago to make room for Davis Street.)
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh became part of B&O.

The Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway Company updated
Bradford station looking south prior to 1894. The little 8 wheeler heads up the northbound flyer on the original single track mainline constructed in 1883. The station was severely damaged by fire in the Great Bradford Fire of 1894. The original slate roof seen here, was replaced with Spanish Tile after the rebuild. The line through Bradford was double tracked around 1900. |
I started with the oldest aerial available.
But it was bad. So I gambled that the depot was still standing in 1969. Fortunately, it was. It was in the northwest quadrant of Main Street and the tracks.
Erie Depot

Jackson-Township historical preservation added
Erie Railroad Depot and Main Street in the city of Bradford, McKean County, around the 1900s. |
Judging from the photo, it was in the southwest quadrant of Main Street and the Erie Tracks. But even by 1956 Davis Street goes through that area.

The Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway Company posted
The freight house in Bradford located just west of the passenger station on Main St. The PRR connection was just north of the freight house, and the Pennsy tracks were west of the BR&P freight house track seen with a boxcar on the right. Further west, the Erie RR crossed Main St. a busy area for railroading in the first half of the 20 th Century. |
Erie was on the west side of the river, and B&O was on the east side until it crossed the river at Main St.
