Notes About Existing
Stations... Brownsville (Union) - This is a large office building on the main street through Brownsville that now houses a multitude of businesses. Until the takeover of the Monongahela Railway by Conrail in 1993, it also served as the operational headquarters of the Mon Rwy. This station served the PRR, P&LE and Monongahela Railway. The express agency/baggage building also still stands to the north at GPS: 40.022967, -79.885629. Connellsville (P&LE) - This is the older pre-1911 P&LE station. It was built in 1907. A board was found inside a wall that a worker had put in while building it. It was dated July 30, 1907. Station was shared with the Western Maryland. Originally used for passenger and freight, and later used just for freight when the new station opened a few blocks east. Because it was originally built for passengers, the front half interior is all wood. The walls and ceiling are tongue and groove boards with a bead. The floor is 1" thick tongue and groove boards. There is a basement under the front half. Originally a loading dock came out under the rear door from the baggage/freight section to where the tracks came up to the back of the building. There is a built in desk and a ticket window inside. --Mark Rowan Ohiopyle (WM) - Building used as a state park info center. ROW owned by a rails-to-trails group. |
