From the Yorkrails list:

It is my sad duty to report that another former railroad station has been
lost to history.

The former Strawbridge station, in southern York County, PA, was torn
down this week by the owner of the property. The Strawbridge Heritage
Foundation had been attempting to preserve the building, but was unable
to find the necessary funding to preserve the building.

The station served on the New Park & Fawn Grove Railroad and also served
as a small general store and post office.

Note: New Park & Fawn Grove was a short-lived extension of the Stewartstown RR, which still survives, though now dormant.

Sad as it may well be, since there was an active preservation attempt underway, there just wasn't a whole lotta there there.
