CLEARFIELD  COUNTY

Brisbin (PRR) - Brisbin was on the Moshannon Branch of the PRR. Can anyone verify is this still exists and its location?

Burnside (Beech Creek Extension) - Owned by the Borough of Burnside. Attempts underway to get it added to National Register of Historic Places and obtain funding for restoration. The BCE RR included the Canoe Creek Railroad and Clearfield Southern Railroad and was a separate company from the Beech Creek Railroad although both were later part of the NYC.

Chester Hill (Beech Creek) - This was the NYC/Beech Creek Railroad's "Philipsburg" station. The Borough of Philipsburg is actually across the Moshannon Creek from this station. The passenger station, no longer extant, was located immediately adjacent to this sturcture.

Clearfield (PRR) - Tracks were in the street.

Houtzdale (Alley Popper) - The "Alley Popper" RR was built as a competitor to the PRR in the Moshannon Valley. It was in financial distress for its entire life and ceased operations in 1931 and was abandoned in 1936. The "Alley Popper" was its more popular name and is more recognized than its barrage of formal names over its troubled life. Owning Railroads: Altoona & Philipsburg Connecting RR, New York & Pittsburgh Airline RR, Philipsburg RR, Philipsburg & Susquehanna Valley RR, and Pittsburgh & Susquehanna RR. Leasing Railroads: Pittsburgh, Johnstown, Ebensburg & Eastern RR, New York & Pittsburgh Central RR and  Philipsburg & Johnstown RR.

Rockton (BR&P) - Station was originally built in 1898 for Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railroad at Rockton PA on the Clearfield Branch.  The depot was dismantled and first moved to Sloan Cornell's Penn View Mountain Railroad near Blairsville PA in the 1970's.  The depot was dismantled and moved a second time to Gettysburg PA on Sloan Cornell's Gettysburg Railroad in the late 70's.  An expansion of the nearby Gettysburg College later necessitated the station to be dismantled and placed in storage.  The station was moved a third time and recently reassembled in Kane PA on Cornell's Knox and Kane Railroad.  The reassembly was in progress when the tornado destroyed several piers of the Kinzua Bridge.  The station has been finished, but regular passenger and freight service has ceased on the K&K, and the railroad is for sale. - Kevin Moore, 2007.

Smoke Run (PRR) - Moved to present location late 1960's.

Unknown (????) - This station was moved from ??? and is located somewhere in Clearfield County being used as a cabin. Anyone have solid info? It looks like an NYC or BR&P station to me. Could this be the Irvona NYC station? Here is an old photo of Irvona.

Winterburn (Beech Creek RR) - Used as a hunting cabin, a two-story addition was put on it in the 1930's. Original station was about 11' X 22' inside plus porches. The original cement steps are still out front.
