It was a perfect day to be outside, and exploring the neighborhood around this Victorian beauty. The building is no longer a train station serving trains, but is an office building.
A nice carriageway in front.
The back of the station is a gorgeous sight, too. It's a shame that there are cars so close to the walls, but that is modern life.
The current passenger station at Port Jervis, about 2 blocks away from the brick depot.
The trains are not quite the Erie Limited in looks or appeal, but they do get you where you need to go, and it is a very scenic route for a commuter line.
This is what originally drew me to the town. I have 10 year old photos of E8 no 833 on the turntable, and I wanted to see what has changed. Just a little more weathering.
833 is an original Erie E8 from 1951, which later became part of the Conrail executive fleet, being numbered 4022 in those years.
And you can't say hello to the EMD E8 without greeting this Alco, no 935. I don't believe this has any Erie heritage.
That is my follow-up. Thank you for reading, I look forward to your responses.
