Last week I was driving on Reading Road in Denver, PA. Behind Stevens Car Care Center there are three cabooses and three passenger cars. They look to be an abandoned railroad themed busyness. Good luck to anyone that is interested.

From some cursory research this was called "Railway Station Antiques & Collectibles" up until a couple of years ago. The repair shop building used to be a regular store front and has been structurally modified into a vehicle repair shop. Looks to have been in business until recently, business casualty of covid most likely. The repair shop and cars are all part of the same property. Caboose might be of use but looks like the cars have been gutted and regular glass store doors cut into the sides. Not good for much unless somebody needs a giftshop.

Railroad themed businesses using old cars were very popular starting in the 1960s. By 2000 all but one were gone here in Seattle.
