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.

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.
