| 説明 | This is probably the second train station on this location. The first version of this station belonged to the Sackets Harbor and Ellisburgh railroad. That railroad went, naturally enough, from here to Ellisburgh, pretty much due south. It lasted from 1853 through 1863 and went through an intervening bankruptcy before it went under completely and the rails were taken up. A dozen years passed by and a replacement railroad was built in 1875, the Carthage, Watertown, and Sackets Harbor. It's possible that the SH&E station still existed and they reused it. In any case, a new foundation was built further west than the end of this building in 190X (the last digit is buried). Then there's a higher foundation than that one with a date of 1915.Okay, this is speculation: The station was still there. The CW&SH reused the existing station (maybe). It lasted for a few dozen years, or was replaced by a new one in the same location. This picture (well, the old part, anyway), is that station. Then, the station was expanded to the west in 190X, which put the bay window about in the middle of the new station. Unfortunately, the everpresent snow was hard to deal with, so they raised the building and poured a new foundation under it in 1915.Regardless of the speculation, the building is still there even though the railroad was pulled up in 1949. A lot of railroads died about then because they were unprofitable; had been unprofitable for a while; but were temporarily making money during WWII and/or were denied abandonment permission. It's now the Sackets Harbor Brewing Company.The old photo is at www.flickr.com/photos/russnelson/5403605788/ and the new photo is at www.flickr.com/photos/russnelson/2389190732/ . They only line up at all by accident. I didn't mean to take a retrophoto.The ties for the rails just about 10' or 3m to the right are still visible, buried in the grass lawn of the freight house, also still present. I don't have an old photo of it, so no fun. The RR used to exit town to the left. There used to be a cut with a bridge over it; now filled with no visible remains. You have to leave the village of Sackets Harbor completely to see any other remains. |
