RE: (erielack) January 2008 calendar photo

It's probably the brick BR&P station, built in 1912, which was a
stub-end station, now restored as an excellent railroad museum.  The
Erie tracks ran right next to it.  Can you post the photo?

Then that would be the building at the right - could the building in
the
background be a yard office? (awfully big!)
