[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by kornchex Johnstown, PA, has such a station. The ex-Pennsylvania 4 track mainline is elevated through the main part of the town, and the bording platform is in the middle. The station sits down at street level, so you have to use a tunnel to get under half the mainline, and up to the platfoms. It is still in use today. You can see the inside of the station in the movie "Slap Shot" that was filmed in Johnstown. [/quote] The PRR station in Greensburg, Pa., also has tunnels, to BOTH platforms. The station itself is located to the South of the tracks (city-side), at a lower level, 'below' where Track #1 'was' in 4-track days. You'd pass under 'old' Track #1, then up the steps to the East-bound platform, between Tracks #1 & #2, or continue in the tunnel, under Tracks #2 & #3, then up THOSE stairs to the West-bound platform, between Tracks #3 & #4. The tunnel continued under Track #4 to the North side of the tracks/station. This last portion of the tunnel (under Track #4) was bricked-over in the late 1990s. Station also (still) has elevators to BOTH platforms.....
