Johnburg is an imaginary junction station in Central Pennsylvania were the Baltimore & Ohio and Reading Railroads meet.

There's a mix of passenger and freight trains.

Passenger trains include local, branch, and diverted mainline trains.
A new platform has been added for the classic mixed daily. Fan trips pass.
Greyhound coaches connect to some trains.
A carriage siding with ice house has been added for use by branch passenger trains.

The yard serves the Grisedale Coal & Coke Co Coal loader, the Whisky Run Lime Co, a RIP
(repair in place) track
, a weighbridge, Trailer on Flat Car (ToFC) ramp based on the former
CNW ramp in Huron SD, and a team track largely used by the railway express (parcels) company.

The foot path takes punters to the Red Dinner and away from the ToFC ramp.

Road crossing

The road crossing area was though to be visually bland so the Red Diner and truck park were added.
Trucks are parked waiting for a slot on the
Trailer on Flat Car (TOFC) ramp and a space at the team track.
The white oil tank is an enlargement of my parents' oil tank.

 
Weighbridge





There were worries that the public might not know the role of the weighbridge.
Hopefully it will be clarified by the sign and notice.
