Sheffield, PA: Pennsy and Tionesta Valley Railway Depots and Pennsy State Railroad Maps

Pennsy: (Satellite)
Tionesta Valley: (Satellite)

Street View, Apr 2024

Robert Daly posted four photos with the comment: "Two preserved stations in Sheffield PA. The longer building was completed by the Philadelphia and Erie (PRR) in the early 1860s. The other was the station and offices of the narrow gauge Tionesta Valley Railway, which ceased operations in the 1930s."

Pennsy went east and north of town. The Tionesta Valley and Sheffield & Tionesta railroads went south of town. Since the primary purpose of the two southern routes was probably to serve coal mines, I labeled them "rrIndustrial" instead of "rrOther."

A satellite map shows that the Pennsy route still exists. As of this 2014 map, the route was owned by the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad. (<GWI> means that Genesee & Wyoming is the parent organization.)

This was the first map I found, but I could not figure out how to turn on the Non-Class I Lines.

I also found this map which PennDOT claims it is keeping up to date.
