P.B.&W. Building below is standing and appears to be in fine condition – Used by a business.

Current photos of the P.B.&W. railroad station, no longer used as a train station, it is currently occupied by a business. In 1889, the station was listed as located on West Avenue, between Goldsborough & August St. For many years, the area, which also housed a freight station, was known as “Railroad Park”.

In 1891, Mention was made regarding the excursion trains that traveled through Easton that year and how lamps around the station in Easton would cut back on the profanity being used when the trains passed. 


Station Two – Baltimore,  Chesapeake & Atlantic  Station
South Aurora & Maryland Avenue.

Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic Station site now a empty lot. I found an old news article from 1932 that seems to be the year this old station closed down , with railway traffic being directed to the Pennsylvania railroad Station. 
In the 1890’s , there was a club known as the “Crocrodile Club” in Easton, composed of people who would travel to Ocean City at least once a year. Apparently when the trip was being planned, the ” Chief Alligator” would reach out to the ” Amphibians” , requesting them to report to the Baltimore & Eastern Shore Station for the trip.
