Notes | ||||||
| Cheney (Eden) |
|
There is no town here anymore. When there were streets here, the depot sat between Railroad and Main Streets. This location is now on 595th Street (CR 16) between 170th and 185th Streets. It was called Cheney in early 1900s, but the location is now known as Eden. | ||||||
| Dodge center |
|
This station was near the intersection of 1st Avenue SW (formerly called Fulton Street) and West Main Street. It was built in 1892. | ||||||
| hayfield |
|
This looks like a more modern station that perhaps replaced the one listed below. | ||||||
| Hayfield |
|
This station was north of Main Street near 1st Avenue. All the street names here have changed. This location was previously Fourth Street between Pearl and broad. | ||||||
| Kasson |
 |
This was the first station built in Kasson. It appears to be of the same general design as the first W&St.P station at Rochester which was built in 1865. | ||||||
| Kasson |
|
This depot was near the corner of East Main and South Mantorville Avenue. It was built in 1885. | ||||||
| Mantorville |
|
The CNW had a boxcar station with additions here. | ||||||
| SacramentE Village (Sacramento) |
|
This town was between Wasioja and Mantorville on the CGW. There may have been a depot here in the early years. This town no longer exists and died off in the late 1800s when it lost an election to become the county seat. It is marked on the 1905 county map. It was located in the area that is now the south end of 225th and 227th Avenues south of 605th Street. There is a group of modern homes there now. | ||||||
| Vlasaty |
|
This village was named by the CGW. | ||||||
| West Concord |
|
This station was on the east side of Front between Main and Irwin. There is a vacant lot there as of 2009. | ||||||
| Wasioja |
|
The street names have all changed here, but the station sat on the east side of Broadway between Second and Third Streets. I believe this location is on 210th Avenue just south of 602nd Street. | ||||||

Notes About Existing Stations... Claremont (C&NW) - Station is now at the site of a private 2'-gauge model railroad in Northfield. Its original location in Claremont was on the west side of Elm Street on the south side of the tracks. Dodge Center (CGW) - This station has been modified with the middle section apparently cut out and the two ends joined together (the building now has a clearly visible seam in the middle). It sits in the backyard of a house along the old transfer track near the CGW/CNW diamond. This is the second house to the east of the water tower on 3rd Street SE. It was probably moved here in the 1950s when the newer metal station was erected in it its original location in the SW corner of the diamond. Mantorville (CGW) - Station has been moved across the street from its original location. The C&NW, which entered from the south of town, and the CGW, which entered town from the west, both terminated near the station, but the C&NW only served a grain elevator about a block NE of the station. The C&NW came into town on a spur that split off the main line just west of Kasson. The CGW also had an engine house just south of the depot in the early years. |
