Philadelphia Model Railroad Club
The B&O Station building was also home to the Philadelphia Model Railroad Club, which moved to Merchantville, New Jersey in 1962 to be reopened as the Cherry Valley Model Railroad Club. Some of the models and buildings from the PMRC were salvaged, and live on today on the CVMRR layout.
