Susquehanna Depot, PA

Susquehanna Depot, usually known simply as Susquehanna, sits tucked along the Susquehanna River in northeastern Pennsylvania, roughly 25 miles southeast of Binghamton. The borough grew rapidly around the Erie Railroad in the mid-1800s, when bustling repair shops, rail yards, and local bluestone quarries drew generations of workers into the valley. The town has settled into a much quieter pace today, with that heritage still reflected in its hillside streets and classic architecture.
