Notes
Antes Fort
(Jersey Shore)
The PRR never actually passed into Jersey Shore. The station was at Antes Fort. A trolley line connected the station with Jersey Shore. The station was still called Jersey Shore on the PRR even though it was actually in Antes Fort.
Antes Fort
(Granville)
In 1873 there was a passenger and freight station here. The passenger station was on Front Street at Pine Street (GPS: 41.190814,-77.224553) and the frieght station was just west of Walnut Street (GPS: 41.190903,-77.22216).
Bastian
(Sylvan Dell)
From the Williamsport Sun-Gazette, June 14, 1902: "...Pennsylvania Railroad trains 30, 32 and 6 eastward and 3, 31 and 1 westward, will stop on flag, weekdays, at Bastian (Sylvan Dell) to receive and discharge passengers. Round trip rate from Williamsport twenty (20) cents." There was likely no station or shelter here, although there may have been a station sign or small platform.
Blue Stone This station was between Jersey Mills and Cammal.
Bodines This station was built in 1890 and measured 20' x 40'.
Campbelltown  
Cammal

Crescent Station  
Duboistown  
Ellenton This station was on the north side of McIlwain Road on the west side of the tracks at GPS: 41.539589, -76.800637. The station was moved a short distance in the early years when the main line was realigned. The station was partially torn down and a small part of the station survived for several years in a farm field nearby with the station sign hanging from it.
Field Station Not sure if the building in the photo is the station or not.
Glen Mawr  
Gray's Run The place formerly called just "Gray" is now sign posted as the "Village of Grays Run" on PA14. Apparently the famous Gray's Run Hunting and Fishing Club was once a town called Gray's Run so back then "Gray" was a station on the PRR where the Susquehanna & New York interchanged with PRR.

Ralston Regarding the large building with columns in the station photo: “Among other enterprises projected was the erection of a great hotel for summer visitors, as it was not expected at that time that the road would soon be, built any further. The hotel was built of stone, with columns in front, and presented all imposing appearance for the time. It was named the Ralston House, and being at the terminus of the railroad, and situated in an extremely wild and secluded spot, became quite famous and was long a favorite place of resort. It still stands in stately pride, the monument of a past enterprise, and is still used for hotel purposes.” --History of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania (1892).

It was primarily a boarding point for vacationers heading to Eagles Mere and Hecla Park. It may have also been used for Northern Central RR trains heading north. Passengers heading east boarded the train at Maynard Street and then bought their tickets at the Pine Street station during a short layover there. The station was closed by the Reading RR in 1940.
