Avon  
Cold Spring After being vandalized in the late 1980s the station fell apart in 1993 and was taken to the dump. Local historians went to the dump and salvaged what they could. Portions of the station were reassembled and are on display at the Stoy Museum, Lebanon County Historical Society located on 924 Cumberland Street, Lebanon, PA
Colebrook  
Cornwall This station was made of stone and burned in the 1930s.
Heilmandale I'm not sure what accounts for the spelling on the station sign in the photo... an error or alternate spelling??
Inwood  
Lebanon
(Donoughmore) 		This station was demolished in 1974. The brick building at 1300 Chestnut Street that still stands looks like a station, but was the general office building for the Cornwall Railroad. The actual station was across the street from the office at 1300 Chestnut. This was actually  known as the Donoughmore station, just on the western edge of Lebanon City. In fact, the Cornwall RR did not have their own Lebanon station but had trackage rights and used the Lebanon station of the Reading Company.
Myerstown  
Mt. Gretna The village of Mt. Gretna was created in 1889 as a summer colony by Robert Habersham Coleman, an iron processing and railroad industrialist whose Cornwall Iron Furnace still stands nearby and is open to the public. The community was a pleasure stop on  Coleman's Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad. Between 1889 and 1916, when it was shut down, Mount Gretna was also the terminus of the C&L RR subsidiary line known as the Mount Gretna Narrow Gauge Railway, a tourist railway that ran to the top of Governor Dick Mountain nearby.
Palmyra This was the original station that was replaced by the one that is still standing. It served from 1897 to 1910.

Notes About Existing Stations...

Annville (RDG) - The station was moved from its original location for restoration work by a local historical group.

Cornwall (Cornwall RR) - Station is currently owned by the Borough of Cornwall and is used as their municipal building and police department. It previously housed the post office for Cornwall even during its years as an active station. A major addition to the board-and-batten frame structure sits on the area once occupied by three tracks, now, of course, torn up. It was built sometime prior to 1883. The Cornwall RR ceased operations in 1964, at which time the road was leased to the Reading Co. The Reading then purchased the right of way in 1968. Prior to the sale to the Reading, the Cornwall RR had sold its engine house and shops, office building and the Cornwall station. -- Tom Edkin
