@PRRMiddleDivision posted:Port Royal is a small town located on the Juniata River about 40 miles northwest of Harrisburg PA. It’s one of my favorite spots on the former PRR Middle Division as well as on my layout. My model portrays what the town looked like in the late 1950’s. The once beautiful station, opened in 1910 was closed to passenger service around 1947, but it remained standing for many years. On my layout, it’s being used for storage and by the railroad police. The classic PRR orange brick platforms had become infested with grass and weeds, and the station had seen its better days, but the stairs leading the PA Route 75 bridge remained in place.
The first photo shows what the long closed station looked like after more than a decade after it saw its last passenger:
The next photo is an artsy view of the station, and is always one of my favorite views on the layout:
Now here’s a view of the station during the “Daze of Penn Central” in 1969, shortly before it was torn down:
Always look forward to your pictures. Really a piece of art.
