Notes About Existing Stations...

Clontarf(GN) - This station is now part of Johnson Fertilizer. It has been enclosed and heavily modified. It is unrecognizable as a depot now. The station closed in 1901.

DeGraff(GN) - Half of this station was torn down and the other half was moved to this farm and became a house. It is virtually unrecognizable as a depot now. Before a school was built in DeGraff in 1878, classes were held in the depot.
