This stripmall that was built on a passenger train yard pays homage as to why there is now a "Old Train Station Road" in this area.

Most outfits, when they spend that much money on refurbishing a depot, provide a history of the depot. But I could not find it on their website. I did find a history of some buildings, but it does not include their own building. Later, I found a Google Maps label of "Central Railroad of New Jersey Station."

1949/49 Kinston & Pittston and 1950/50 Wilkes-Barre East & West Quads @ 24,000

I started with a 1963 aerial because it had better resolution. But I could not find the LV depot.

So I got the older aerial. This shows the white rectangle in the above aerial used to be the depot.
