MA & PA Railroad: Hyde Station
It used to be called Hyde, then maybe Hyde's, and now Hydes. Some locals insist it's still Hyde, but since there have never been more than a dozen locals to begin with, it will probably remain Hydes. There used to be a little cannery next door, you can read about that here.
We took the top picture, of course, the bottom photo was found by a friend at a junk shop.

A Few From Folkston, Georgia
(Falmanac) ... A few years ago we took a vacation in Folkston, Georgia. Folkston isn't what's traditionally known as a tourist hot spot, but that's changed recently. The reason? Trains.

Folkston didn't become a railfan Mecca on its own, it had a little help from the town. For a very small amount of money, the town built a gazebo for rail fans to sit and watch the action. It has chairs, lighting, a picnic table, outhouse, and a scanner built in. Continued

Staunton Amtrak Station
Amtrak's Staunton (pronounced Stanton), Virginia Station is located in what looks like an old switch tower. What used to be the town railroad station is next door, now a restaurant. The station serves one train: The Cardinal. This section of line is under lease to the Buckingham Branch Railroad by CSX.
MA & PA Railroad: Whiteford Station
No, not the big red building in the back, the little grey shack in the front. The station was built in 1892 for the Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad, one of the Maryland & Pennsylvania's many predecessors. Whiteford was known as Cambria until around 1906.
