Stewartstown station (Pennsylvania)

Stewartstown Railroad Station is a historic railroad station located at Stewartstown, York County, Pennsylvania, USA. The ​1 1⁄2-story, three bay by five bay brick building was built by the Stewartstown Railroad in 1914. It has a slate covered hipped roof. It was used as both a freight and passenger station.[2] It was the second station in Stewartstown, as the original 1884 station was taken out of service so the New Park & Fawn Grove Railroad, which interchanged with and was later operated by the Stewartstown, could be serviced easier. It is currently the departing location for the railroad's passenger excursion trains.
