Subject

Pennsylvania and Reading Railroad Depot, Lititz PA. The train station was built in 1884. The station was a bustle of activity through the first half of the twentieth century. As other forms of transportation replaced trains, the passenger service was no longer profitable and the station was demolished in 1957. Forty years later, a replica of the original station was built on the same site to serve as a visitor center for Lititz. It was dedicated in 1999.
