Uniontown Freight & Old Passenger Terminals

[Fredbruhn at aol.com]

The Connellsville freight depot was right behind the two loop tracks at the 
terminal.
I don't know what year it was torn down, but with the bank now invading the 
terminal it is gone.  

The Greensburg terminal is still there and not changed a great deal.
It would be hard to "lift" the WP cast stone logo set in the top front of the 
building, both because it would be heavy and because the terminal is now the 
police station
and petty theft is probably discourged.  

I didn't mention that the Uniontown building is not a rectangle or square.  
It is angled, with the stub track turning off the street and then the track 
straight from that point on along the back of the building.  The building is 
like a wedge, with the front (the end with the lettering) much shorter than 
the back of the building.  The truck transfer side appears to have several 
docks.  There  are some low industrial buildings behind 
the frt. station and low scrub, bushes along the street just prior to where 
the turnout is.

I was interested in Ed's comment about finding some evidence of track in 
Brownsville that may have gone to a "freight station".  That is interesting 
too.
