Notes About Existing Stations... Benson (BN) - This station was originally in Benson. When the old Great Northern depot at Litchfield was razed in 1985, this station was moved from Benson to Litchfield as a replacement. 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) - Botht the Degraff and Holloway station are on this site. Half of the Degraff 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. Apparently the property was formerly owned by a GN section foreman who moved the building to the property originally. Before a school was built in DeGraff in 1878, classes were held in the depot (probably a station of older vintage than the existing one). |
