STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Acosta
AllenVale		The Pittsburgh, Westmoreland & Summit Railroad began in 1899, but the full route from Ligonier to Somerset only operated for ten years (1906-1916).
Arrow		The 1923 PRR List of Stations & Sidings lists a freight station here. This was on the Curry Mill Branch.
Ashtola
Bakers		The Somerset & Mineral Point Railroad ran NE along Coxes Creek connecting Somerset with the Pittsburgh & Connellsville Railroad. The railroad owned one passenger car among its rolling stock and there were eight stations along the line. It was eventually owned by the B&O.
Barronvale		Although it maily hauled lumber and coal, in 1888 the Ursina & North Fork Railway reported having a passenger car and income from passenger traffic. It is unclear whether the railroad had physical depots on the line.
Berlin
Blough		This station was located in the southeast quadrant of the original crossing location of Route 403 and the railroad. The station was approximately 100 feet north of the small bridge carrying the railroad over an unnamed tributary to the Stonycreek River near GPS 40.171419, -78.907955. There was no station shown in a set of highway plans from 1964, and the site was ultimately covered when the bridge over the Stonycreek River was replaced south of the old bridge in 1991. The station would have sat within the southbound roadway shoulder immediately opposite the current bridge. --Nick Puzak
