Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad
built its mainline across
New York State to Buffalo in the early
1880's. Many new towns were now
on the expanded DL&W mainline, and each
new town needed a depot.
The Lackawanna designed a new style of depot
for many of these New York
state towns, a style which would become a
DL&W icon. The "Pagoda
Style" depot was first built around 1883 for
the new expansion to
Buffalo, (and the style was also then used
for some Pennsylvania and
New Jersey depots as well.) but it is most
strongly associated with the
DL&W of the Southern Tier and Western
NY. These were "combination"
depots, which acted as both passenger
stations and freight stations,
and had facilities for both under one roof.<br>
<br>
A total of 31 of these depots were built by
the DL&W, and at least
5 more were on the Erie! This makes a total
of 36 known Pagoda depots. Of those 36, Ten
still
survive in the year 2010, </font></big><big><font
color="#333333">half a century
after "The Route of Phoebe Snow" ceased to
exist. Nine DL&W pagodas
still exist, plus one of the Erie depots.
(more on the Erie depots is below.)<br>
<br>
(Update 2017 - The Perkinsville depot was
demolished in March 2017, making Eight
surviving DL&W depots now, plus the Erie
Wimmers depot.)<br>
<br>
There is also one modern full-size Pagoda
depot replica! In Arizona.<br>
</font></big><big><font color="#333333"><br>
</font></big><big><font color="#333333">Two-Thirds
of the
DL&W Pagodas, 20 out of 31, were in New
York State, on the mainline extension to
Buffalo that was built in 1880, 1881 and
1882.<br>
<br>
It is believed most, if not all, of the New
York state pagoda depots
were built in 1883. More details on that at
the bottom of the page.<br>
<br>
Most of these depots were in use by the
DL&W from the early 1880's
through the late 1950's, Eighty years of
service with the railroad. In
1960 the DL&W merged with the Erie
railroad to form the Erie
Lackawanna, and much of DL&W mainline
was abandoned and ripped up
across New York State. Today, only one
(Atlanta, NY) of the surviving
Pagoda depots is next to active rails, but
for the rest, its been 50
years since they have seen a train pass by.
Several of the survivors
are in excellent condition, 130 years after
they were built! but sadly
a few others, while still standing, are
clearly near the end of the
line..conditions and status of all the
depots will be discussed below.<br>
<br>
I have always been interested in these
depots. I'm from Waverly, NY,
which was right on the DL&W mainline,
and I was familiar with the
Vestal and Painted Post depots. It had been
in the back of my mind to
someday look into their history some
more..two things led to finally
getting around to it in 2010!<br>
<br>
First, <a
href="http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=66261">a
post</a>
appeared on railroad.net from Tom Morin, who
along with his father
saved and moved the Wallace NY depot in
1969. Tom was interested in
learning more about the style, so he posted
a question on the forum.
Thanks Tom!<br>
<br>
Second, I am finally getting around to
building my garden railroad! I
have been considering scratch building a
1/29 scale depot for my
railroad..I considering basing it on a
SR&RL depot, (im a huge fan
of the Maine 2-footers)..or I would love to
build a model of the Sayre
LV station! my hometown train station,
(where I spent many happy hours
as a teenage railfan and museum member back
in the 80's) but that would
be FAR too huge..how about a DL&W pagoda
depot? thats perfect! its
unique, interesting, and local..so im going
to attempt to build one!
out of concrete..more on that later.<br>
<br>
So one day in the summer of 2010 I was
driving home to Rochester, NY
after visiting family in Waverly. I stopped
by Cohocton to check out
the Alcos on the Bath & Hammondsport
railroad, and then I took the
backroads out of Cohocton, rather than get
back on the expressway, so I
could drive over to Atlanta NY to look for a
pagoda depot I had never
seen before..I drove into town, and there
she was!..the DL&W's
Atlanta depot, looking a bit rough, but
still standing proud in fair
condition, naturally I had to stop for much
photographing! ;)<br>
<br>
Those are the various factors that led to
this webpage.<br>
<br>
I only knew personally of maybe three or
four pagoda depots..but
obviously there must have been more than
that..So I posted threads on
the railfan forums (links below) and the
DL&W fans out in the
railfan community came through, as always,
with a ton of great
information, thanks everyone!<br>
<br>
So here is a look at the DL&W Pagoda
depots, from East to West down
the DL&W mainline. 50 years after the
end of The Lackawanna.<br>

Bernardsville depot is unusual, in
that it is the only Pagoda depot
replaced by another DL&W
depot,<br>
that still survives today! And was
moved very early (about 1900). All
other pagodas that were replaced
by a second DL&W station, were
either torn down, or replaced
because they burned down, etc..
And all
the other <i>surviving</i>
Pagoda's were used by the railroad
up until
the end of the railroad in 1960,
and were never replaced by a
second
depot.</b><br>
<big><br>
</big><b>Clearly Sterling and
Bernardsville are the
"non-standard" pattern, Sterling
appears larger in width than the
standard design, and both
have different end windows, and
different roof brackets. But they
still
have the distinctive pagoda
roofline, so I am counting them as
pagodas
for this list.<br>

Creek
is the Easternmost
surviving Pagoda
depot. It appears
someone attempted to
turn it into a house
at one point, (new
windows were added on
the roof, presumably
for new rooms in the
"attic"
area, and it seems a
new
basement/foundation
was also built.) but
whoever was doing
this, apparently gave
up on the project for
reasons
unknown, and today the
depot appears
abandoned and is being
allowed to
deteriorate.<br>
<br>
If anyone knows any
details about the
future plans for this
depot,
please let me know and
I will<br>
post it here! This
depot is not yet too
far gone, it looks
like it
could still be saved.<br>
