Blue Jay
(Lynch)		 A station is shown here on the 1914 county map, however by 1922 the timetable lists this as a flagstop.
Brookston  
Byromtown An article in the 11-24-1904 Clarion Democrat said that Marienville would have a new station soon after an old boxcar had served as the station since the previous one burned down in 1902. The article said that, "It is understood that the station at Byromtown will be moved to [Marienville] and a freight house built to it." It is not known if this plan was carried out, but if it was then a new roof was put on it after it was moved.
Dawson Run  
Duhring  
Epsteins A station is shown here on the 1914 county map, however by 1922 the timetable lists no station here and the town name is gone by the 1941 map.
Frost Station  
Gilfoyle  
Hastings  
Henry's Mills This was listed as a flagstop on the 1922 timetable, however no location with that name appears on the 1914 or 1941 county maps. It may have been the same station as Epsteins listed above.

Maple Creek  
Marienville The station here, along with a roundhouse and water tank, burned down in 1902 during a fire that swept away the entire business district and a good portion of the residences in town. A converted box car was used as a station for a couple of years until a new station was placed here. An article in the 11-24-1904 Clarion Democrat said that Marienville would have a new station soon after an old boxcar had served as the station since the previous one burned down in 1902. The article said that, "It is understood that the station at Byromtown will be moved to [Marienville] and a freight house built to it." It is not known if this plan was carried out or if a brand new station was built here.
Mayburg A station is shown here on the 1914 county map, however by 1922 the timetable lists this as a flagstop.

Ross Run A station is shown here on the 1914 county map, however by 1922 the timetable lists this as a flagstop. There was also a flagstop at Bear Creek between Ross Run and Newtown Mills.
Ross Run
Junction		 The Hickory Valley RR was a logging railroad, but they did publish a timetable with a list of stations as they were required to by the ICC as they were established as a common freight carrier. There were likely no actual depots on the line, although there may have been some sort of freight house at Ross Run Junction. Apparently you could ride as a passenger on the line, but that consisted of sitting on a hay bale in a boxcar. The stations listed on the 1896 timetable were Hickory, Middleton, East Hickory, Bowman Siding, Rialto, Reno Junction, McDonald, Summit, Raulston and Ross Run Junction. On its "Reno Division" the timetable listed Rialto, Reno Junction, McCrea and Browns.
