It is a very small museum and 1 train car. Not very much to see but, very good history about the station and the community. Worth a stop to see if you have an hour to kill.

A nice, small museum, and an old Pennsy tower. This is along the North East Corridor, so Amtrack's Acela's and the MARC commuters go by frequently. If you're lucky, you catch the one weekly coal train allowed on the line. Across the tracks is one...More
