Was pleasantly surprised to find that the oldest surviving passenger railroad station in the country is here in Philadelphia county - Shawmont station in Roxborough. Currently undergoing rehab to reopen this summer.DixonWasAliveAgain t1_j7d8284 wrote
Where did you read of a reopening this summer? I've been hearing about this station's restoration for years (restoration as a building, not as a train station of course), but haven't seen evidence yet.

There’s a sign outside of the station now that lists improvements being done and that funding is being provided by the feds with a slated reopening of summer 2023 -sign was not there last time I rode past in august.

I walk my dog past there occasionally, and they've done *some* work that I've noticed. Electricity is on, at least for the external lights.
