The original State College station was along College Avenue, where the Hammond Building is now. |

Based on the 1959 track diagram, this appears to be a southeasterly view across the throat near the station. I suspect Meyers Coal Yard would be to the right of the John Haugh & Sons building.

This feed mill was just off of Corl Street and was between Waddle and State College. It doesn't appear on most of the BCR documents, so I am not sure when it appeared. The mill was an Agway facility in the 1980s but was no longer rail-served. |
