circa 1900
A view of the Pan Handle (PRR) station at 9th and Fletcher in Anderson. If you look at the large picture, you will note that there are no automobiles in the picture, only horse drawn conveyances and bicycles. On the right of the station are milk cans and on the far left, you can see mail and/or baggage being loaded. Postcard Photo - Marvin Crim Collection

PRR Station circa 1909 - Anderson PRR Station
The Pennsylvania station at 9th and Fletcher. In the back right is the old Madison County Jail (white building) and the Norton Brewing Co. which was the Ralston Purina feeds in the 50s. Across the street were hotels and small shops that catered to the traveler in better days. Note the 'Home Made' and Gospel Trumpet signs. Postcard Photo - Roger Hensley Collection.
I've never seen those buildings South of the station. This is the PRR Passenger Station at 9th and Fletcher Streets in Anderson from the North side showing Union Grain and Coal and St. Mary's steeple in the background. - Bradford Douglas Collection.

1910
PRR Frieght House - 1910 This is the PRR Freight House at 5th and Main (just north of the intersection). It is listed as being 1910. The building is long gone, but there are still tracks showing through the pavement. Across the tracks to the left, was an ice house. This was very common practice then for filling ice cars (refrigerated cars) to prevent perishables from spoiling.

The Dow guarded the crossing of the Big 4 and the PRR in North Anderson. It also was responsible for the tracks running both North and South from there. The coaling tower and tracks at Florida Station were under it's control.
