Notes
Aliquippa  
Baden In 1876 the station was just south of where the tracks crossed Fours Run.
Baker Bank This station is shown on the 1876 county map. It was near where current day Hoytdale is in the upper NE corner of Big Beaver Township.
Beaver The station was located at the base of a bluff between Insurance Street and College Avenue. The P&LE and Beaver Valley Traction Company offered faster service than the PRR from points west on the Ohio River so the station was likely torn down prior to WWII.
Beaver Falls   Demolished in 1970s. This brick station was actually moved in the 1920s about 300 yards West of its original location. It was moved down to the river bank, across the P&LE tracks, under the PRR bridge, and back across the P&LE tracks to its new location. Photos show station in original location on cribbage for the move and after being moved under the PRR bridge. 
Beaver Falls   This freight station sat at the corner of 11th Street and 1st Avenue. It was demolished in early 2007.
Clinton Clinton was the next station north of Homewood on the New Castle and Beaver Valley Railroad. This station is shown on the 1876 map. 
Cook's Station In 1876 this was the next station to the SW of Industry. This is probably part of Midland today.
Darlington The New York, Pittsburgh & Chicago (NYP&C) was the predecessor to the Pittsburgh, Lisbon & Western (absorbed by the Youngstown & Southern in 1945). Despite its name the railroad only went from Pittsburgh to Youngstown, OH.
