This town is now served by the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad.

| Jackson-Township historical preservation added B & O (Baltimore & Ohio) Railroad Station in the borough of Johnsonburg, Elk County in 1950. Bruce R Pier: Actually this originally was the Buffalo,Rochester & Pittsburgh station, the B&O absorbed the BR&P in 1932. Bob Whittmaier shared |

| Stan Carlson commented on Bob's share In BR&P days. Alan Bienlein: Stan Carlson where in Johnsonburg would this station have been located? |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Alan's comment [AR1VBYB00010013] I wonder that also. The location of this depot has defeated me. In this 1968 aerial photo, the only rectangle parallel to the tracks is south of Marvin Street. But the grade separation rules out that location. A location that matches the grade separation, curve in the track and the mountains in the background is about here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ncURZQ7VCxGSUYkk7. But there is no building, nor access road, at that location in the aerial photo. |

Thanks to Dan West's comment below, I learned that I needed to look further south. When I look in the correct place, it is easier to find.

The other railroad in town was the Pennsy.

This station was on Baline Street/Ridgway Avenue south of Grant Street on the west side of the tracks at GPS: 41.485184, -78.678461. It was built in 1900.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information. I updated the notes with an aerial photo in the correct area. But I still don't see an appropriate rectangle. Was it torn down by 1968?
DeleteI don't know for sure when it was torn down, but passenger service ended around 1955, so it's likely it was gone by 1968.
