Great thread idea! Five Railroads came through my home town of Scranton, PA. I have no decent photos of the Erie passenger depot, because it is hidden inside Cooper's Restaurant. NYO&W's Providence (North Scranton) station was torn down a few years ago. I may have slides of it, but it was gone by the time I bought a digital camera. D&H's station was torn down so Greyhound could have a station. The freight depot still stands.
These are images of Central of New Jersey's 1890 freight depot, which they also shared to some degree with the New York Ontario & Western. No tracks near here anymore.
And here is the Delaware Lackawanna & Western passenger depot. Taken early in the morning during the NRHS Scranton convention in 2010.
The trackside view is as nice as the street-side.
Oxford, Pa.
Originally built by the Philadelphia and Baltimore Central Railroad in the 1860's, which was merged with the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad in 1881, which was itself controlled by the PRR (Central Division) and called the Octoraro Branch. Passenger train service ended in 1935.
After the PRR merged into Penn Central and the Penn Central bankruptcy, ownership of the line went to Conrail. Following the Conrail breakup, the Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) took over the Octoraro Branch, and leased it to short-line freight railroad companies.
Today, the line is run by the East Penn Railroad, although the right-of-way is still owned by SEPTA.

CSXAL Those photos bring back memories. Thanks for posting
Here is Northport New York on The Long Island Railroad Port Jefferson Branch. This is about 1950 or so. Other than only one track, no more steam and the addition of a high level platform, it still looks about the same today. The steamer is No 113 a Long Island 2-8-0 consolidation class H10s. This engine handled the freight business on the Branch. Since the line was single track, 113 is waiting fr an Eastbound to arrive and clear at Northport.
