Doesn't look that bad; it still would make a nice motel.

GROW-UP!!!

It's not just New York, Erin, it's EVERYWHERE!!!! Had a BEAUTIFUL old restaurant that used to be a horse and buggy stop in the 1800's near where I lived; they tore it down and build a WaWa.

This would make a beautiful motel!!

This could even be restored and made into a restaurant or something. I went to the Tamaqua Train station, I guess it was about in 2002 and there was talk of it being fixed-up. You could see all the benches and ticket windows, mail slots and such through the windows. I was so glad to hear later they made it into a beautiful restaurant and even kept all the original benches, ticket windows, doors, etc.

We're getting to the time that we'll only be able to show our children and grandchildren things through pictures. Except for historical places like Gettysburg and such, even our entire landscape is changing through highways and freeways. One time I moved away for a year and when I came back, I actually thought I was lost because when I was gone, all these homes were torn down that used to be beautiful land and they put a six lane highway in!

Thank-you for that information, Mike. It makes me feel better just to know someone's trying to preserve an important and beautiful piece of history--for once.

What will they do with this area?

FANTASTIC PICTURE!!! PLEASE TELL ME THEY SAVE THIS?!?

It looks like it was once covered in tile.

Are they going to save the train area or just the main building? You just don't see many of the really old stations anymore.

Does this ever bring back memories! As a child, I used to go to the train platform, with a friend of mine and we'd watch the trains come and go; a simple thing that others today would probably find boring.

funny looking tiles, talking of chicken its exactly the pattern of "chicken wire"
looks a little like a tree creeper...

Was the floor in this passage really rounded or does the debris just make it appear that way?

In order to get supraconductive properties out of metal you immerse say a coil of copper in liquid helium ( minus 264 celsius yes minus) then you would get a super strong magnetic field with the benefit of not having to sustain an electrical potentiel at that coil.....neet power it up remove the source of energy and forget about it ......well not really because once in a while you have to refill the container that hold the liquid helium and that would be the use of the dewar flask.......And what is the purpose of the SAID apparatus.......Brace yourself....It's a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer....yessssss it is used for the analysis of the chemical structure of organic compound by studying the nuclear magnetic moments of molecules or in other words the electron spin. It's a complex technic with complex instrumentation and complex data analysis
So there.....sleep well and stay tune for the next episode
