Chicora, PA: Lost/B&O/BR&P Depot

(Satellite, the fire station has repurposed the land.)

The abandoned Baltimore & Ohio depot at Chicora, PA on Aug. 24, 1979.
Jason Miller: The train still runs past it daily. It doesn’t stop in Chicora anymore. It has a dedicated run to the oil refinery in Petrolia and Karns City. I am guessing that it was demolished around 1990. The fire department owns the property now.

It was on the B&O's Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh. Specifically, on the route between Butler and Mt. Jewett. On this map, Chicora is between Butler and Karns City.

That route has become an industrial spur to the two petroleum product plants.
