The old Oakland depot for the Pennsylvania Central Railroad has been given new life by Landmarks, Inc. to serve as the welcome center for Trial & Tribulations. The historic building is on the north side of State Route 133 as you enter Oakland. Participants in the program next Thursday, Friday and Saturday will park on the south side of the depot and purchase or pick up tickets to the event in the depot.
The Welcome Center is being staffed by the Oakland Chamber of Commerce one of the sponsors of the Trial & Tribulations program. In addition, Bill Chandler, who is a retired railroad man will be inside the depot to talk about it's history from his first-hand experience from working in it.
Greg Baker, a member of Landmark's board of directors and publication chairman for Trial & Tribulations, has put in the lions share of the work to clean, paint, and repair the rooms so they will be ready for the public.
