Pennsylvania Railroad Station, Shelton Avenue, Alexandria, Huntingdon County, PA
Summary
Significance: This served as Alexandria's first railroad station from 1897 to 1903. The railroad purchased this section of the canal in 1866, but did not close it until 1875; thus, the transportation industry in Alexandria during the last quarter of the century was served by one railroad, and this was the first, albeit short-lived local depot.
