Once a stop on the Lehigh Valley State Line & Sullivan Branch, this station sits along Railroad Avenue above the town. Not having seen an active train since the 1970s, it now serves as some kind of antique shop. |

RDG 90882 |
| Description: |
Originally constructed as a 1000 series day coach for the Philadelphia & Reading Railway, this car was converted in 1929 to a rider car on the Erie Avenue relief train out of Philadelphia. Retired in the 1960s, it was sold to Rail Tours Inc. but never made it to the operation, floating around various areas in the suburban areas outside Philadelphia before being sold and moved to its current location. Today it serves as part of an antique shop with the old LV Dushore station along the abandoned State Line & Sullivan Branch. Original number believed to be P&R 1019. |

| Title: |
NP 24617 |
| Description: |
How does a boxcar from the Northern Pacific Railway end up in the middle of rural Pennsylvania? Back in 1972, this car had been brought to the New Albany station, north of this location on the Lehigh Valley State Line & Sullivan Branch, for a customer in town. While it was still parked in New Albany, a flood from Hurricane Agnes washed out the tracks. The Lehigh Valley Railroad chose not to repair the line as the branch wasn't all that profitable and the car became stranded. It stood in place next to the station until 2009 when it was acquired by a private party and moved south by truck to serve as a storage unit at this lumber company. |
