Actually, I think that the county would be more of an obstacle. :roll:

Wanted to add a screened-in porch. City said it counted as a room on a house that is at the size limit for our bitty lot. So I had it built without walls. It's OK as a roofed patio...Can't put a layout there, of course.

Either Home Owner's Association or Hoary Old Assholes, depends on whether they seem to be seeing things your way or not.

Mercersburg Station at the turn of the 19th century and then maybe in the early 70's....

What is the emblem on the switcher and what is the railroad?
Looks like a keystone with a deer.

I was wondering that myself - it's the CVRR right of way so that became PRR and then PC and then CSX and it was all ripped up decades ago....so there might have been a little shortline subsidiary that handled the switching on this line up through Lemasters to Mercersburg.

I have a photo that I will post later at another CVRR station that has a similar (the same?) engine in a 3/4 view but I can't read the road name on the side

Always nice to see a station in its heyday and then sad to see it in a modern image. So much cleaner in the old days.

Yes, but at least some of these stations still exist and are preserved in some fashion vs. all the rest that are long gone....

Many in our small town in SE GA are now lamenting the loss of the railroad station and some other railroad buildings.
Just a little late, they were removed @ 50 years ago. :roll: :roll:
