Looks kind of small for a Hotel, but it does have two fireplaces.

Rooms were smaller then and fewer folks traveled any distance. Used to be lots of these small hotels in towns all over Pa. Many are now apartments.

This scene is highly modelgenic!

Seems a lonesome, isolated place.

Yup! All sorts of good "stuff" going on here that should inspire a scene on a layout. 2 track main, freight siding behind the station, that building in the distance, water tank and water tower across.......only limit here is imagination :!:

That vertical device on the far-right of the picture, can I conclude it is the way tenders drew water from that big tank on the left?

I modeled one of those things into my layout, at one point, and even, somehow, "instinctively" placed it within the vicinity of a large watertank. so if what I have deduced from this photo is correct, I am gratified by the photo-evidence.

For trains on the track adjacent to it, opposite of the large tank.

At my hometown, the tank was @ 1/8 of a mile from the track.
The stand pipe was between two tracks so it could be used by both but not at the same time.

Murph,
You got it right.
Seeing photos of your layout is always a high spot for me.
I see something every time I had not seen before.
Thank you.
