Fabulous picture taken in 1910 of the train and station. Got any more pictures of that station and train....

Would make a nice scene for a small layout. :)

Only card that I have of that one - Amesville, OH. A bot off from the CVRR but too nice a photo card to pass up showing here.

The quiet pride in each of those workers is palpable. Very nice to see.

Yes, and a pretty spiffy 10-wheeler there in front of the log train.

Yes; also thought that the gas pumps and island was interesting - good model building references.

I recall seeing Atlantic stations when I was a kid, but they disappeared into the ARCO (Atlantic-Richfield) combination that, if I remember correctly, fell apart later. Atlantic was one of the thirty or so companies formed from the breakup of Standard Oil, operating in the greater Philadelphia market. Later, as the industry began to reconsolidate, Atlantic got gobbled up by somebody. My grandfather, a guy who never really had faith in the banks or the equity markets after the Depression, was an Atlantic stockholder.
