Notes
Campbellstown The building in the photo was probably only a cabin and not a station, but Campellstown was a very small stop. Does anyone know if Campbellstown had a station or did this small building also serve as a flag stop or station?
College Corner This station was located on Brookville Street north of Church Street.
Eaton This was the predecessor to current station and was used for both passenger and freight service. This building was located in the same area as the existing passenger station on the south side of the tracks. It was torn down when the current station was built in 1899.
El Dorado The old Brasier Hotel which was on the east side of Main Street (south of the tracks) may have served as the first station here as it had a passenger platform along the tracks on the north side of the building. A depot was later constructed by the railroad around 1910 on Mill Street just east of Monroe Street.
New Paris This combination station was on Railroad Avenue between Whitewater and Main. The station, which was on the SE side of the tracks severed as a freight-only station for some time after passenger service ended.
