A few of the restored rail cars at the Dennison Railroad Depot Museum. This train station was at the midpoint between Columbus Ohio and Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. It was at the 100 mile mark from either city because a steam engine could only travel 100 miles (back around 1864) before it had to take on more coal. It was also a Red Cross canteen during WWI and was a central hub for the disbursement of troops during WWII. It has been estimated that 1.5 G.I.s were served free food, coffee by the roughly 3,987 volunteers from eight counties at the Dennison Depot Salvation Army Servicemen’s Canteen.

Very interesting image you have captured. The cars seem adorned with pictures of possible passengers.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Thanks for the history! That's really interesting the planning of the location because of coal supply. So, this station is really old, going back to about Civil War era? Very nice image.
