[PRCo] Evans City interurban station

[Bob Rathke]

In doing railroad research on Butler County, I just learned that the interurban station in Evans City is for sale.  It has been suggested that the town purchase the building and restore it (in 1975 they had a chance to buy the B&O station there - the one built over Breakneck Creek - but they couldn't raise the money to move it as required by Chessie System, and so that unique station was razed in 1977).

I remember the interurban station being a few blocks southeast of downtown.  Different owners have used it for various purposes over the years.  I recall a store, and possibly a garage, occupying the building between 1956-64.
