Verify List
Updated: 12/29/09
In keeping this page, I frequently
receive tips of one kind or another from a variety of sources that other stations not
currently listed on the County Pages are still standing. Newspapers, magazines, books,
newsletters, pamphlets--all are valuable for the hints and suggestions that they give, as
are the reports of friends, field operatives, and Internet surfers. Occasionally specific
details are supplied,but more often the report is on the order of "I heard from
someone that Smalltown Station was moved years ago to Bigville." Anyone with
information on any of the stations below is asked to e-mail me. In particular, I am interested in knowing the
current and, if moved, the original location (town, address) of the station; what type it
is (passenger, freight, combination); its current use (municipal, railroad, business,
private, vacant); whether tracks are still there and what railroad, if any, is currently
operating; and any other interesting notes or features.
To people kind enough to write and supply information: sometimes different people will "verify" different things about the same station. If you have sent along "verifying" information which has not been posted, please be patient and understand that I am trying to work my way through the conflicting reports that I receive.
