| Chandler |
|
This depot was at the intersection of 5th and Main Streets, on the north side of the tracks. | ||||||
| dovray |
|
This station was on the north side of Railway Street between Hoffman and Woodman Streets. It was on the south side of the tracks. In 1904 the town was actually moved one mile north and one mile west to be closer to the railroad line. This station was built in 1906. | ||||||
| Hadley |
|
This station, built in 1899, was on the west side of Main Street North, on the north side of the tracks. | ||||||
| Iona (IONA LAKE) |
|
The station was on the east side of Parnell Avenue, on the south side of the tracks. There doesn't appear to be an Iona lake anywhere in the vicinity of this town, but that's what it was in fact referred to (according to historical records, the town had a baseball team called the "Lakers"). Also, I see no evidence that any RR other than the CM&St.P line went through Iona, even though the photo indicates that it was a "union" station. Very odd. | ||||||
| Lake Wilson |
|
Built in 1911, this station was on the west side of Broadway Avenue, on the north side of the tracks. | ||||||
| Lime Creek |
|
The station was to the east of the grain elevators. It was on the north side of the tracks. It was built in 1899. | ||||||
| Slayton |
|
The depot, built in 1899, was on the east side of Broadway, on the north side of the tracks. | ||||||

Notes About Existing Stations... Avoca (CSt.M&O) - The original location of this depot was on the north side of 2nd Street, on the west side of the tracks. Currie (CSt.M&O) - The original location of this station was on the west side of Mill Street (now 200th Avenue), on the south side of the tracks. Fulda (CM&St.P) - This Eastlake-style station was moved a short distance to its current location in 1901. As it was built in 1880, it may have been built by the Southern Minnesota RR or the CM&St.P as the latter purchased the former during that same year. |
