Posted by Tom Gorton on January 28, 2015  Kevin, I love this shot! But what is a "section house"? Posted by Kevin Burkholder on January 28, 2015  Wikipedia explanation words it best: "A section house is a building located near or next to a section of railroad used for housing railroad workers, or for the storing and maintenance of equipment for a section of railroad. Section houses were used mainly from the 1890s to the 1960s." This particular building was moved form its former location just east of its position and from where it was constructed across from the long-gone East Wallingford depot.
