STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Farrell
Greenville		Was located on S. Front Street
Grove City
Jamestown		Picture of station is from a post card of about 1905. The station was heavily damaged in 1920s by collision of a NYC and PRR train at the crossing. Station was rebuilt as a single story affair. Station was torn down about 1961 after agency closed in 1959 or 1960. In the background on the right is the east end of LS&MS (NYC) freight station. PRR also had a smaller freight shed/platform and house track on east side of the E&P at one time. -Paul Stumpff

Notes About Existing Stations... Bethel (Sharpsville RR) - Station has been modified and is amidst trees. Greenville (Erie) - Passenger service ended in 1970. Greenville (B&LE) - Passenger service ended in 1955. Jamestown (LS&MS) - The Jamestown LS&MS depot dates to almost the original extension of the Jamestown & Franklin to Ashtabula. It is now a woodcarver's gallery which was restored in 1995. What you see today is the joining of two separate buildings. The freight station portion is in its original spot [the eastern end], but the passenger section was a separate building across the tracks. It was moved over and joined to the freight half in the 1930s after NYC passenger service ceased. The freight depot operated separately for awhile in the far east end, and that part never left railroad hands until tracks were gone. The foundation site of passenger station on the south side of old NYC was still visible until they built the connector track between the Oil City and the E&P branches shortly after PC was formed. --Paul Stumpff Oakland Station (Sharpsville RR) - This was the old Rollinson Store, although not owned by the RR it served as the station. The building burned in 1925 and was rebuilt. The railroad closed in 1931. Sharon (Erie) - This station was part of a corner commercial building and is not a traditional style stand-alone station. The building has been heavily modified and isn't much for looking at. It used to have an overhanging roof on the track side of the building that was removed sometime between 1990-2000. Sharon (PRR) - Both the passenger and freight stations are part of the Tully's restaurant complex and obscured greatly by additions. Stoneboro (LS&MS) - NYC sold this station to a local woman who had it moved from its original site at the foot of Lake Street to a point off railroad property, maybe 500 feet further west along the right of way. The folks in Clarks Mills acquired it for an arts and crafts shop probably 15 years ago. They numbered each board and reassembled it on its present site. They did remove 3 feet from the base of the building, so it is shorter than its previous life, but probably easier to heat. NYC built a bay window on the freight house across the track [from original passenger station site], and the agent/operator did his thing there as long as the agency was open. Conrail then demolished freight station. --Fred Houser
