Riding Amtrak's LSL this past weekend, I spotted this handsome structure. Next to it was a green coach with the words "Berea, Ohio" below the windows. Who owns the depot and what is its current use? tmanz@afo.net |

Our family used to own the quarry in Berea before the locals emminant domained it. Last time I was there in 1985, one of the depots was being used as a restaurant called "Pufferbelly's". I seem to recall there is a passenger car there. Nice adaptive reuse of the old structure. > Riding Amtrak's LSL this past weekend, I > spotted this handsome structure.

The restaurant was still going as of about two years ago, and was pretty good and reasonable. Also a good place to foam over the former Big Four and Lake Shore mainlines. The passenger car is a former PRR heavyweight parlor/diner or some similar combination, without its interior but otherwise well-preserved. Some of its interior hardware and a lot of NYC memorabilia are on display in the restaurant. Aarne Frobom The Steam Railroading Institute P. O.

The Pufferbelly also runs a restaurant in the former Erie station in Kent, Ohio. The food is good and the displays inside are interesting. Outside the former Erie main is now run by the Wheeling & Lake Erie. I have been there many times over the last 10 years and have never seen a train on it. The B&O has a line next to the Erie that is very busy, but it is at a lower elevation so you only see the tops of cars going by. Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Peservation Society tstuy@eldcps.org |
