Blue Rock		This station was north of Brockway near the Elk County line. According to the 1918 PRR valuation records, there was only a platform here at that time.

Brockway		This station was on the south side of Main Street on the west side of the tracks (GPS: 41.246729, -78.786971). It was built in 1884 according to PRR valuation records.
Brockway		The PS&N had its own station, but also stopped at the Erie station as well (according to the 1915 PS&N timetable).
Brockway	AND	The Erie passenger station was at the corner of Depot Street and Bond Street (GPS: 41.245164, -78.785657). It also housed the RR offices here and was not right next to the tracks. The PS&N also used this station.
Brockway		This freight station was just to the west of the passenger station/offices along the tracks at GPS: 41.245249, -78.786027. It appears that in later years only a portion of this station remained or a new smaller station was constructed (see photos).
Brockway		This was the old BR&P station taken when Brockway was still called Brockwayville. Built in the early 1880s, it was at the same site as the existing station (GPS: 41.250248, -78.798626). When the new station was built, it was moved 200 feet north and served as the freight station. It burned down on August 11, 1924. Following the fire, an old boxcar was used as a freight station. Not sure if an new one was built sometime after that.
Brookville		There was freight station at the end of 5th Street just past Long Avenue at GPS: 41.150713, -79.074038.

Falls Creek	AND AND	Shown on the 1878 map as the first station in Clearfield County on this line in Brady Township. This small 10x12 "coop" depot, called the "W Box," (Reynoldsville Star, 9-28-1892) was eventually used by all three railroads in Falls Creek.
Falls Creek	AND	The AVRR built a new 25'x100' station in 1893 that stood until the early 1980s. Before the BR&P built its own station it was a tenant at the AVRR station. This station was on Slab Run Road in the NW corner of the diamond at GPS: 41.142127, -78.794597. Although most of Falls Creek is in Jefferson County, the PRR and BR&P stations were just over the line in Clearfield County.
Falls Creek		The BR&P station was in the SW corner of the diamond just south of where F.C. tower still stands today (as of 2021) off Slab Run Road. It was at GPS: 41.141886, -78.793969.
Forest Hill		This small shelter station is pictured on Page 83 of the BR&P book by Paul Pietrak. It was along the BR&P north of Brockway and south of the Empire Tunnel. The photo suggests it was near Bliss Run on the north side of the BR&P tracks, near GPS 41.287598, -78.834778

The station was in the vicinity of GPS: 41.060118, -79.204018. Does anyone know what the purpose of a freight station at this remote location would have been?

Pueblo Station		The Brookville Railway ran from the junction of the Brookville Branch to east of Pueblo Station. It also indicated that the line was operated by the PRR and leased by the Allegheny Valley. The line was 12.08 miles long.Other sources say the RR was shut down in 1905 and bought that year by the PRR then subsequently torn up in 1907. This may have been a logging-only RR and may not have had passenger service. Here is a map showing the Brookville Railway.
