Geneva Short General Esther Fairchild, the author of this series, says: "No, I'm afraid not. The track's all gone for a mile north, and where the trestle was is now some sort of medical building, and a Walgreens just to the east. The old Pennsylvania station just south of Amherst Street still stands, though, and is now the Winchester Little Theater, complete with an old Conrail box car in the back spotted along the back platform. The theater uses that car as a storage shed." 4/23/2012 12:24:15 AM
Dennis Weber General Very Nice. 6/28/2012 10:24:32 PM
Dave Johnson General Very nice series of photos. I did not move to Winchester until 1993 so I did not see this structure in service. 6/30/2014 9:39:24 AM
