The Pennsylvania Railroad erected this ornate station in Mount Joy in the 1870's when the main line still passed thru the north side of the community. When the "cut," was put thru the south side of Mount Joy in 1896, a new station was erected. However, the old station on North Market Street, along rails that were once the harrisburg, Portsmouth, Mount Joy & Lancaster Railroad, was still Standing up until the 1930's. Photo, Ralph Snyder, R.
