Next Stop, the Tamaqua Railroad Station! Take a step into the past as
you enter Tamaqua’s restored 1874 Philadelphia & Reading Railroad.
Saved from the brink of demolition, the Tamaqua Railroad Station now
serves as a heritage center, as well as a cultural and economic hub in
Historic Tamaqua. Be sure to make a stop at the Tamaqua Railroad
Station on your next visit!
