CSX No. 948 leads an eastbound freight through Pennington, NJ, passing the historic Pennington station, built by the Reading Company way back in 1882.
In the early 1900s, roughly 50 trains stopped at the station, carrying mail, passengers and freight from Trenton, Philadelphia and New York and was staffed around the clock by an agent and three clerks. After World War I, automobile ownership rose and the station declined, cutting Sunday services in 1945. By 1962, Reading Railroad had only two trains stopping at the station and in 1967 discontinued service completely. Today, the station serves as a residence but the tracks are still in use by CSX.
The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974.
