That looks like the old CNJ station in Bethlehem, PA.  (CNJ = Central Railroad of New Jersey)  Most likely taken after the CNJ had ceased operations in PA and portions were taken over by the Lehigh Valley.  Not sure why a D&H train is sitting at the station, although the D&H was granted trackage rights into Bethlehem / Allentown due to the formation of Conrail.

Thanks guys.....you nailed it. I kept searching the LV and D&H for a match without any luck. I didn't think to check on the CNJ. The end view made the building look manageable to model but now that I see the sides my enthusiasm is somewhat tempered. Regardless I like the setting. Checking on Bing maps was somewhat depressing.....little remains. they left a token section of track in front of the station.....everything else is long gone and paved over......even the complex on the hill looks like it was torn down and replaced by townhouses. I wonder if these stations were once served by both the LV and CNJ? Still a cool location with the canal and all......Again, many thanks!! Mike
