Someone really needs to model East Stroudsburg PA

I found this picture and it struck me how it's perfect for modeling.  You have your station, your interlocking tower, town hall, and a row of businesses that could be turned into flats.  It's perfect!

(There's lots of other goodies in this guy's album too.)

when I lived up in that area, the station was being used as a restaurant and gift shoppe
last time through the area, the station was abandoned, sitting empty
it begs for modelling...EL (and PRR) just because I am a SPF ;-)

Ed, I'm on it.  That's the east end of my layout.  One of my favorite places.  I first discovered this area on a trip to Bushkill Falls with my folks in the late 70's.  We paralleled the tracks for miles.  My slimy face print is still probably etched into the window of the Pontiac Safari wagon from that trip.

  Scott,
  don't forget that earlier Susie Q and WB&E were in that area also.
   interesting like Middletown NY and its RRs.
   some small Towns/Cities had more RRs than they knew what to
   do with at one time,like pre 1940s.

Any pictures, Scott?  I'd love to see how you're turning it into a model.

East Stroudsburg is a very cool railroad town. I used to go through there when I was a kid. It was not the model for my layout but...

I thought so, just wanted to make sure ;-)

I don't think I've ever seen a full plan of what you're working on.

There was an old covered coal trestle behind the McDonalds in East Stroudsburg we used to stop at on the way to and from Penn State.
