Notes
Barrett This station was on the south side of Hawkins Avenue near Front Street.
Canestorp This town no longer exists. It was located near the intersection of CR 1 and Twp. Road 47, west of Elbow Lake. The station was most likely on Manitoba Avenue which paralleled the tracks.
Elbow Lake This station was on the east side of Central Avenue.
erdahl This station was located on the NW side of the tracks between the northern ends of Leonore (now 122 Ave) and Elm (now Cherry Key) Streets.
Hereford This town is virtually non-existent now. It was located in the northeast corner of North Ottawa Township, south of Mud Lake. The station was on Front Street between Main and East Streets (all now gone).
herman Is this the same station that is still standing or is this an older station? This does not look like the same building, but the station may have been modified in later years. Can anyone say for certain?
Hoffman The depot was on the NW side of Main Avenue (formerly called Lincoln Avenue).
Norcross This older station predated the existing station.
Thorsborg  
Wendell When the tracks went through town (before being rerouted south of town), the station was on the west side of South Main Street at Railway Avenue. The track bed through town is now Soo Avenue.
