Here is the next in a series of pictures that we took while visiting the southern tier of New
York. Since the Erie and DL&W no longer exist, all we could do is take pictures of the
remaining infrastructure. Some of it is still in use, some not.

The subject of this series of photos is the Erie Passenger Station in downtown Elmira NY. The
Erie Station is located just north of the elevated section of track covered earlier. As can be
seen in the pictures, the station was built long before the track was elevated.

erstat01.jpg - This shot is a three quarter view showing the remaining portion of the Erie
station. The freight part of the station has been removed. Note the elevated track
construction tacked onto the side of the station.
erstat02.jpg - This shot details the east side of the station. Note the brick street and the
evidence of the trolley lines that used to run through the streets.
erstat03.jpg - This shot details the north end of the station. Note the evidence of the
freight portion of the station that had been removed.
erstat04.jpg - This shot details the elevated passenger platform. You can see the track
starting to descend into the yard north of Washington street.
erstat05.jpg - This shot details the north end (front) of the station.
erstat06.jpg - This shot details the entry arch.
erstat07.jpg - This shot details the date of the station (1867) above the entry arch.
