| 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.

| Facebook Reel The collection contains about 150 cars, but they can display only 30-35 cars. |
I looked for Part 2, but I could not find it.

| SwigartMuseum_cars They change the display each year during the Winter when they are closed. |

| SwigartMuseum_toys "The collection of toys in The William E. Swigart, Jr. Automobile Museum includes those modeled after the exciting vehicles of the early 20th century. Cast iron fire trucks, horse-drawn pumpers, and other wheeled toys made by manufacturers such as Hubley and Buddy L; Lionel trains; and pedal cars with a silhouette similar to the antique cars in the museum are on display throughout the building. One corner is devoted to a collection of vintage Fisher-Price toys, including classics such as the Snoopy Sniffer and the Corn Popper push toy. Everything from wooden pull toys offered during the company's first year (1931) to toys popular a decade ago brings to mind the pleasure of these childhood favorites. Other toys on display throughout the museum include mechanical tin plate toys, dolls, hobby horses, and much more." |
