Notes About Existing Stations...

Blue Earth (C&NW) - This may have been the original freight/passenger station from 1879, or it may be a later freight station. When the larger Blue Earth Omaha passenger station was torn down, the RR moved passenger operations to a trailer.

Huntley (CM&St.P) - Moved from original location.

Walters (Rock Island) - First story and freight section removed. Second story remodeled and used as a garage.
