NORTHUMBERLAND  COUNTY

Dornsife (RDG) - This station was known as "Gap" on the 1870 Traveler's Guide timetable for the Mahanoy & Broad Mountain, East Mahanoy, Little Schuylkill Railroads.

Fishers Ferry (NCRy) - This stone tavern, built 1792 or earlier (1792 accepted by historians), was later used as a station stop by the Northern Central Railway when RR was built through in 1858. PRR assumed control of NCRy in 1861. It is not known when RR use ceased, but station stop survived into early 20th Century. The station was also known as "Port Trevorton."

Hunter (RDG) - In 1899 the area churches of the United Evangelical Church held their annual camp meeting at Hunter Station on the Herndon Branch (Northumberland County Democrat, 8-3-1899). This station was known as "Rakers" on the 1870 Traveler's Guide timetable for the Mahanoy & Broad Mountain, East Mahanoy, Little Schuylkill Railroads.

Milton (P&E) - Now houses the Milton Police Department. Here is an old view showing the freight station. The station at Milton which was part of the PRR was formerly of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad not the Northern Central Railroad. The Northern Central stopped at Sunbury though it was a part owner the in the Northumberland yard before it was absorbed into the PRR. The Northern Central also owned the Williamsport to Elmira branch at one time but it did not own the tracks or stations between Sunbury and Williamsport. --Greg Stone. According to an item in the Kane Weekly Blade from June 30, 1881, the P&E were building a new depot here at that time.

Northumberland (PRR - Passenger) - Station was also used for DL&W Bloomsburg connection. Though wooden "rooms" have been added to extend the restaurant, the station is brick; one can see the brick in the 2nd floor but also in the original exterior walls now inside the restaurant. --Gary Lapointe Vacant for years, it was rebuilt into a dining establishment in 2012 and reopened 2013.

Northumberland (DL&W) - The tracks that originally served this building (west side) were removed. The existing tracks are of former Erie origin and are on the east side of the building, and are about 150 ft. away. Concrete sign at north end of building clearly says: "Lackawanna Freight House."

Orphanage (PRR) - This was originally the PRR depot at Orphanage, a flag stop on the PRR's Shamokin branch about 4 miles east of Sunbury. It was moved to "Delta Place,"" north of Lewisville, in the late 1980s.

Riverside (PRR) - This town was formerly called South Danville.

Shamokin (PRR and LV) - This was the third NC/PRR station in Shamokin, built in 1893 (The Daily News, 6-5-1893). The windows of this station are now boarded up and the platform gone. When it was originally built it has a small wooden "miners' depot" at the west end on Orange Street. It was also used by the Lehigh Valley as that RR has trackage rights over the PRR from Mt. Carmel to Shamokin. It was last used as a bus station and is now a warehouse for a furniture store. 1935 was the last time it was used as a passenger train stop. The station is within a block or two of the Lower Anthracite Model Railroad Club at 210 East Independence Street. The Shamokin PRR station was not an ordinary bus stop, it served as the Shamokin stop for the Pennsylvania Railroad Greyhound Lines even while PRR passenger trains were still running at lesser frequency. These buses ran until 1941-43 when Edwards Motor Transit Company took over the routes. It's not clear whether Edwards used this station after it took over./p>

Shamokin (NCRR) - This was the 2nd NCRR station at Shamokin, built in 1876 (The Sunbury Gazette, and Northumberland County Republican 2-4-1876). After the new passenger station was built across the tracks in 1893, this served as a freight station. This station is shown on Sanborn maps from 1885-1928.

Sunbury (RDG) - First railroad station in the world to use electric lights.
