I posted a slide a while back of an SW1200 tied up at W Milton in 1974, but I also just found a slide my Dad took on the same trip of the station itself.. Interesting how only a small portion of the old roof remained-I can only imagine a fire occurred at some point, but why not just replace the whole thing? Also-it's pretty narrow, kind of like my favorite one (but even narrower)- the Landisville depot as modeled by Model Hobbies years ago. Note how the brown paint weathered to more of an oxide read than the more typical faded chocolate brown on the freight shed in the background.. Also-note the funky chimney support on the adjacent building! Anyone know if it's still standing? Hard to imagine ten years earlier, in 1964, Reading Rambles were pounding through here with double-headed T-1's!

Mitch, wish you would have posted this about a week earlier. My wife and I moved the youngest in at Susquehanna University, and at one point I guess I was about 12 miles from the center of Milton. The next time I am up in that neck of the woods it is worth looking for, although I did get to stop at Weaver and grab some Scalecoat so all is not lost!!

Unfortunately, the West Milton passenger station is long gone, demolished back in the 1980s or 1990s
