Passenger Railroad Service at Elizabethville, 1904

The passenger railroad schedule for trains arriving and departing at Elizabethville, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, as printed in the Elizabethville Echo, 12 August 1904, was as follows:

Six trains stopped at the station in Elizabethville to receive and discharge passengers on a daily basis, except Sunday.

Three of the trains were heading eastward, with Lykens as the last stop.  These trains arrived at the station in Elizabethville at 11:18 a.m., 4:59 p.m., and 6:44 p.m.  The ride to Lykens varied in time from 13 to 22 minutes, depending on the train that was taken.

Three of the trains were heading westward with Millersburg as the last stop. These trains arrived at the station in Elizabethville at 7:38 a.m., 1:58 p.m., and 7:51 p.m.  The ride to Millersburg took about 22 minutes.

Signal stops on the line were Woodside, Lenker, and Oakdale.  Signals at the station notified the train crew to stop passengers were waiting to board. The conductor signaled the engineer if passengers on the train were leaving the train at those stations.

Coal trains and freight trains shared the tracks with the passenger trains and sometimes a train was delayed on a siding while another train passed.
