Depot: (Satellite, extant)
Shelter: (Satellite, lost)

| AltoonaWorks posted Amtrak 320 F40PH makes a station stop at Huntingdon, PA posing with Hunt Tower, closed a decade prior. The wood frame passenger shelter in the right backgrounds was shared by PRR and H&BTM back in the day. It was demolished around 2001. Dick Bregler photo from 1992 Tim Shanahan shared Dennis DeBruler: According to Google Maps, the building is now the Chamber of Commerce, https://maps.app.goo.gl/PHTM5rC5evz3rLLbA. |
The keyword in the description above is "shelter." The depot itself is still standing.
It looks like they tore out the long concrete platform, and they now load just one passenger car at this stop. Note the junction tower peeking through the trees in the middle of this view. The tower would have controlled those crossovers and probably the turnout for the branch that went across the river. Thus, these notes are labeled towerMain and towerJunction.

I included the bridge for the branch that makes this a junction.
