This undated photo shows the old Fortuna train station located at the Cowpath Road crossing. The station received its name, the story goes, after a Reading Railroad train struck and killed a cow near the Cowpath Rd. crossing in the late 1880’s. The cow’s owner filed a claim against the railroad and in an out-of-court settlement, the railroad agreed to name the nearby train station after the deceased cow, Fortuna. The old station was replaced in 2017 with the present modern station.
