Seeking records on Shelly Station on North Pennsylvania Railroad

Thank you, Lisha!

Your list was quite extensive, but I made it through it.  In summary, Shelly Station was small and has since been demolished, so there is little information.  All is not lost because I found enough.  Below is a brief summary on the structure of the station:

Note: The Philadelphia to Bethlehem rail lines, known as the Bethlehem Branch, became operable in 1857.

All aboard for Shelly Station!  Passenger travel to and from Shelly was instituted in 1882 with the construction of its train station.  Shelly Station was small and cheaply made as initial plans were to have numerous and inexpensive way-stations along the Bethlehem Branch.  The station, itself, measured 11 by 36 feet and was constructed of wood.

In April 1916, an architect from the railroad was noticed in the village.  Shelly was part of a replacement plan for a new station and freight depot.  The scheduled changes were to include larger and more elegant structures all of which was to occur in the summer of 1916. Unfortunately, it never was constructed due to increased competition from another line, the Belvidere Delaware Railroad Company.

Sadly, the village never received what would have been historical, architectural buildings. The inexpensive, wooden structures were demolished in 1954.  Shelly Station survived over 72 years and provided an immense volume of local commerce.

These findings along with the picture of Shelly Station (link in original post) are fantastic!
