Looking for pictures of the old train station

For those of you reading this old enough to remember when Oakmont had a working train station I have a request. I have become somewhat of a “rail fan” over the last year or so and have actually taken my first long distance trip by train. I would like to find pictures of the train station especially when it was still actually in operation.

For those that don't know Oakmont has a set of railroad tracks that runs right down the center of town. They are still in use today by the Allegheny Valley Railroad though unfortunately only to move freight. I happen to think as did our late Mayor Donald Eaton that the valley could really benefit from commuter rail service. At one time there were actually two sets of tracks side by side. One set was removed years ago and the space has been reclaimed for a walking path that runs the length of town from Hulton Road to College Avenue. Another nice touch in Oakmont but I miss the trains.

So if you have any old pictures of Oakmont I would be very great full if you were willing to share them with the community and I. Drop me a note in email if you have something that you would like to share. Thanks!
