Landisville Station - Landisville, Pennsylvania - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

From Pennsylvania Railroad Stations, Past and Present - the station was built in 1930 on the foundation of a signal tower. The tower controlled the junction of the Pennsylvania Railroad (now known as the Keystone Line and still very active) with the Reading and Columbia Railroad (abandoned at this location) that was once located adjacent to the station. The station was constructed with an office for the displaced tower operator.

During the American Civil War, a new railroad appeared on the scene in Lancaster County. Controlled by the Philadelphia and Reading Rail Road, the Reading and Columbia Railroad built down from the Reading area to reach Columbia, crossing the Pennsylvania Railroad at Landisville, with a branch from Lancaster Junction to Lancaster. See Wikipedia for a history of railroads in Lancaster County, and see http://davecathell.tripod.com/col.html for a good history of the Reading and Columbia Railroad.
