    This was the PRR Freight House at 5th and Main (just north of the intersection).

    This is the same freight station in the photo from 1910. The front second story has been removed and the front turned into a passenger station.

    The building is now long gone, but there are still tracks showing through the pavement. Across the tracks to the left, was an ice house. This was very common practice then for filling ice cars (refrigerated cars) to prevent perishables from spoiling. That's now gone as well.

    Sure enjoy seeing the old structures. Railroads today are just barren wastelands without them, and their people.
