Would make an interesting scene on the corner of rectangular layout. Don't often see a station on a curve like that.

With a curved stub switch leading into that side, too.

Good point. Good sharing.

Might be a fun exercise to build the switch. Built a 3-way stub switch about 15 years ago.......

Appears to be a wide trolley track ?

It's in PA, so yes, PA Broad Gauge is what most trolleys there ran on. Probably the Chambersburg & Gettysburg line that ran over to Caledonia

Seems like an intelligent emplacement for them, off to one side like that.

In my hometown area, around Pittsburgh, the trolley tracks had to leave a curbside lane for the parking of cars along the curbs, even in suburbia. Here they are in downtown McKeesport, as seen thru a store called Cox's.

The picture Rufus posted was probably taken during the horse and buggy days. Just a guess....

That would be my interpretation, too, given the absence of parked motorized vehicles along the entire curb.

America changed quickly in those decades from his photo to mine, huh.

Proud, stately, and strong. Probably how the community saw the students educated there as continuing to become.

That could be modeled in a small area and be very effective.
