Geocache Description:

This may be a quick C&D or it may be a little difficult. only time and logs will tell. This is a high muggle area, so be careful.

The Old Tyrone PRR Depot.

On this site, the Pennsylvania Railroad built its depots, boarding platforms, and Adams Express Office. Three branches of the Tyrone Middle Division — the Bald Eagle Valley, the Tyrone and Clearfield, and the Lewisburg and Tyrone — had offices in the passenger terminal. The PRR was considered to be “a foster mother that nourished the town’s being.” In 1947, more than fifty passenger trains passed through Tyrone each day. With the decrease in train business, the depot was demolished in 1968. Photographs of the railroad complex are now on exhibit at the Tyrone History Museum. Located near the depot was the factory of the famous Wilson Chemical Company. The building was demolished in the 1970s when the Rt. 220 Bypass was built through eastern Tyrone. This area now is the Tyrone Rail Park, which encompasses the Tyrone Railroad Station (Bud Shuster Intermodal Transportation Center), a gazebo, a PRR workers memorial stone, and two cabooses. The Museum is only open on Wednesdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 pm.
