RE: (erielack) Conklin/Web site with some very cool old photo's

Listers,

http://www.family-images.com/ny/misc/1910%20Conklin%20New%20York%20Railroad%20Depot.jpg

Tying together two recent threads: In the New York collection of the Family 
Images website mentioned in this earlier post is a 1910 photo of the Conklin 
station (http address attached). I spent my early years in Conklin (found 
our house near the DL&W main east of the yard, and my elementary school 
which backs-up to the east yard throat, in the satellite photos of the 
roundhouse thread), but don't remember any station in Conklin. I know 
passenger service to Conklin was long gone in the mid-sixties, but does 
anyone know where the Conklin station was located and when it was torn down?
