The Last Keystoneby ~yankeedog

Photography / Urban & Rural / Cityscapes & Skylines

At the end of Penn Station's passenger train shed along Liberty Avenue in Pittsburgh is the last remaining PRR Keystone. The train shed at Penn Station was built in the 1950s to replace original arched train shed built in 1902.

Agreed with all of the above. Lots of people have swiped the SP shields that adorned many of the overpasses here on the West Coast.

That's too bad. I don't understand why people do that, but I wish I had the Keystone that was on the Freight House across from Penn station.

I hope this one stays. That's a piece of history.

~yankeedog Sep 10, 2008

It sure is, even if it only dates to 1950. I think it's safe because Penn Station has Historic Landmark status, but you never know.

yeah, I've seen more than one NHL structure be torn down...

~yankeedog Sep 10, 2008

There was a beautiful little station in Craighton, PA near the PPG plant on the Conemaugh Division. I never got around to shooting a picture of it, I've always regretted that, but I never believed Conrail would tear down such a beautiful building.

It always happens that way, don't it?

He who hesitates is lost.

Better hope nobody tries to get rid of that...

~yankeedog Sep 9, 2008

Me too, it's a precious stone! There was one on the freight house across the street, but it was either removed or covered over when they remodeled the building into office space. Might still be there under a facade.
