Lenkerville – Looking East on Lykens Valley Railroad, 1877

A photograph taken about 1877 from the balcony of the old railroad station at Millersburg (Lenkerville), Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.  The view is looking east along the tracks of the Lykens Valley Railroad (Summit Branch Railroad).  The tracks going off to the right join with the north-south line of the Northern Central Railroad (later the Pennsylvania Railroad).  The tracks running to the bottom of the picture end alongside the northern side of the station.  The Lenkerville yards with the turntable and engine house are just out of the picture to the right.  And, the trestle at the left was used by coal cars of the Lykens Valley Coal Company.
