Shohola This station sat at Rohman Rd. and Richardson Street.
Built in 1852, the station was closed and abandoned in 1964 and razed in 1974. Here is a photo of it near the end of its life.
Shohola This station was located about 100 feet from the Erie Railroad Depot in the Village of Shohola. The fare was 5 cents to ride one way to the Glen or back to the Village. Built in 1886, this station  lasted until the 1970's and was used as a Bank for many years. The track gauge was 4' 3" with all materials and coaches salvaged and purchased for $20,000 from the Pennsylvania Coal Company Gravity Railroad that ran from Hawley, Pa to Scranton, Pa. Motive power was WATER and Gravity. The coaches were lifted up German Hill by a continuous cable system designed by John Roebling in 1850. The cable was powered by a turbine located in an the old mill just across the Shohola Creek from the Glen Depot.
Shohola Glen This was the Shohola Glen Depot located about one mile from the above station at the entrance to the Shohola Glen Amusement Park. It was also constructed in 1886 and used for more than twenty years. It was finally destroyed by hurricane Diane in 1955.
