Archbald		This station was on the south side of Pike Street between Cherry Street and Spruce Street on the west side of the tracks at GPS: 41.493671, -75.539551. It was built in 1873. In 1904 it was moved from the east side of the tracks to the west side and enlarged.
Ash Gap
Carbondale		This combination station included a steam-powered elevator. It was on Dundaff Street between Salem Avenue and Enterprise Drive, on the site of the present day Post Office (GPS: 41.575459, -75.503297). The tracks were eleveated through town here and some of the piers for the bridge can still be seen in the area.
Carbondale		There was a freight station just south of the passenger station near the corner of Dundaff Street and Salem Street at GPS: 41.574645, -75.503159. This station was on a spur that was not elevated.

It was retired in 1896 with the addition of the new brick station (listed below), but continued to serve the Stegmaier Brewing Company as a beer depot and then as a D&H dispatcher's office at least until the late 1920s and perhaps beyond that. It was at approximately GPS: 41.576928, -75.503549.
Carbondale		This brick passenger station was built in 1895 and burned down in the early 1970s. This was known as "City Station" and was located at GPS: 41.571865, -75.504908. Prior to this station, there was a small wooden station at this same location as shown on the 1892 Sanborn map.

Clifton
Clifton Siding		ICC records from 1926 list a station at Clifton Siding that was built in 1893 and list a modified boxcar as a passenger station at Clifton that was placed there in 1913. It could be that the boxcar was used as a replacement for the station above after it met its demise.

There was also a brick D&H building nearby that served as offices. It could be that tickets were purchased at the D&H offices, and then the passenger shelter was next to the tracks. The railroad then tried to build a station south of Lackawanna Avenue in 1894. The building was partially erected when the mayor halted construction at the site (Delaware & Hudson Inspection of Lines - Passenger & Freight Stations, 1928).
