Depot: (
Satellite)
The freight house is behind the boxcar and depot.
This is the freight house. The depot is in the left background.
I checked out the tall white thing behind the depot in the above view. I don't know what it is other than a cellphone antennae tower.

posted 10 photos with the comment: "Someone recently posted a photo of Quakertown Station in Quakertown, PA. The photo showed the restored passenger side. The shots below were taken by me in 2024 and show the station's freight house, currently being renovated. The roof was recently replaced."
Leanna Knight: This will be an event center for weddings and celebrations. Visit
www.rail-yard-society.org for more info. I love this pictures. I’m the Executive Director of the Rail Yard Society. Our new metal roof is looking sharp.

The depot is now an event center.
A shortline railroad must use these tracks as their headquarters because many of the photos I saw had locomotives parked here, but their positions kept changing.
Indeed, this is one of the routes operated by
East Penn Railroad (ESPN). They have 14 locomotives.
They are obscuring the logo. :-) Access to the locomotives must be part of the event space rental. Or did they trespass?
The restoration work of the depot was extensive.

"In May 1989, a fire destroyed a large portion of the building’s interior and roof. The Quakertown Train Station Historical Society Inc. was formed by a group of concerned area residents to stabilize the burnt out structure. The task of restoring the structure to its original condition was undertaken next through numerous fundraising events and grants." |
