Easton was a train station in Easton, Pennsylvania. It was originally built by the Lehigh Valley Railroad. As of 2010, the structure still exists and was blighted for at least 20 years, since its closing in the 1970s. The city of Easton got permission from Norfolk Southern to clean up the property. The location only recently became a focal point for the city with the opening of Interstate 78 in the 1990s.[1]
The Central Railroad of New Jersey had a station of its own on the other side of the Lehigh River.
