Tyrone’s first train station was built on this site in 1851. That wooden station burned and was replaced by a 2 1/2 story brick station in 1888. The structure was marked by numerous gabbled [sic] decorations with fancy wood fretwork typical of the then popular Queen Anne style of architecture. The railroad right of way consisted of two pairs of tracks separated by a central platform with a very long canopy to protect passengers from the elements. By the end of the 1800's, Tyrone was the busiest stop between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. In 1890, the Tyrone Division of the PRR employed 1 in 13 people living in Tyrone, or about 450 residents. The place where this station stood later became a parking lot.
