Notes
Brady's Bend  
Colwell Station
Cowan
Cowanshannock  
Donely's Station This was along the line just northeast of where Donely's Island is.
East Mosgrove
ECHO  
Freeport This station was also known as Buffalo Station (it's called that on the 1876 map). It was on the south side of Buffalo Street on the east side of the tracks (GPS: 40.676301,-79.6913). The name "Buffalo Station" implies that there was more than one station here, but it is the only one shown on the 1876 Freeport map.
Ford City  
Kaylor The WA was later part of the B&LE.
Kelly's Station  
Kiskiminetas Junction
AND
This junction was first known by two names. On the Allegheny Valley it was known as West Penn Junction, while on the Western Pennsylvania RR it was known as Allegheny Valley Junction. In the photo, you can see parts of the signs boards that have those names. Later the name was changed to Kiskiminetas Junction and later shortened to Kiski Junction.
Kittanning The first station here was at the same location as the existing station.
Leechburg
(W. Leechburg)
  The second passenger station for Leechburg, was actually located across the Kiski River from Leechburg, in West Leechburg, Westmoreland County. The station was called Leechburg by PRR and was reached by the bridge that is shown in the picture. The foundation concrete and brick walks are still visible. The specific location was Bridge Street, West Leechburg. This station was built around 1904 after a flood destroyed the RR bridge at the eastern end of Leechburg, thus cutting off the town and its original 1887 station (which is still standing).
Logansport  
Mahoning In 1876 the hotel and depot were in the same building.
Manorville  
Mosgrove
(Brattonville)
 
Parker City W.H. Spain was the agent here in 1876. The station was on the south side of 4th Street on the west side of the tracks. This station may have served the Parker & Karns City narrow gague line (later part of the Pittsburgh & Western) as well. Not sure what this street is called today or if it even exists anymore where the depot was. 
Peart's Eddy  
Pine Creek Station This station was just north of Mosgrove and is shown on the 1876 map.
Rimerton   Station was torn down during WWII.
Rosston  
Schenleys Station A. Tripp was the station agent here in 1876.
Templeton  
White Rock This station was between Kelly's Station and Donely's Station near the White Rock ferry. It is shown on the 1876 county map.
