Emporium, PA: Remodelled/Pennsy Depot, (JN) Tower and Roundhouse

Depot: (Satellite, we can see some of the foundation.)
Tower: (Satellite)
Roundhouse: (Satellite)

Robert Daly posted three photos with the comment: "PRR station at Emporium PA, Sept. 5, 1966. The former P&E line to Erie is on the left and the line to Buffalo to the right. While we were there PRR train 570, the southbound Baltimore Day Express, arrived and departed. Photos were taken from the steps of JN Tower."

I don't think this photo I took in 2022 at Emporium is the depot. Some similarity not much.

 I agree. I think the depot was closer to the junction. In fact, this may be a remnant of the depot's foundation: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SAhyNG8BcRDU6dEg9. 1945 aerial photo. Note that there was a roundhouse on the north side of Allegany Ave. [AR1BM0000020024]

This map accurately marks the two buildings and the roundhouse.
