Pennsylvania Railroad Station

Pictured by 1908

A 1908 view identifies Shamokin's Pennsylvania Railroad Station; contemporary mapping labels the passenger-depot setting under a different railroad name, so both descriptions remain visible.

Some details remain uncertain

A Station Captioned in 1908

The picture book presents a standalone view captioned Pennsylvania Railroad Station. The caption establishes the public name used in the album but does not supply a street number or construction date.

A Different Map Label

A period map labels the same passenger-depot setting for the Northern Central Railroad, rather than the Pennsylvania Railroad name in the album caption.

Transportation Changed Around It

A later photograph shows a depot, train, and motor bus together. It is not the 1908 album photograph.
