Dave Hibbs Wow! Thats incredible. Glad you’re still around to enjoy and appreciate the history contained within this video, and still remember that fateful day of the closure of the station

They could’ve at least saved the headhouse… it was a true architectural masterpiece and one of the prettiest train stations ever built.

The locomotives seen in these photos are PRR class K4 4-6-2s, There were over 400 built and two survive today one of which is being restored to run again on excursion trips.

i have an idea. if the station was a stub end and the trains had to back out - which seems dangerous mind you - why not just have a switcher pulling it back out down the line? simple solution to that problem. I like Suburban Station though (if you can ignore the riftraff).
