Notes About Existing Stations... Hills (GN) - This station was originally at the west end of 3rd Street. Manley (CSt.PM&O) - This station was originally from Manley, was moved to Beaver Creek, and then back to Manley. According to the 1914 map of the town, the separate Omaha and GN stations in Manley were virtually next door to each other on 4th Street (when the town had streets platted). The GN station was to the north of the Omaha station. Both stations were just to the west of the tower that controlled the crossing of the two railroads. Steen (Illinois Central) - This station was originally on the west side of Main Street in Steen. |
