Notes
Courtland This station was on the west side of 3rd Street. It was built in 1894. This station, along with the Nicollet station were both moved to a farm to the NE of Nicollet and were subsequently torn down.
Lafayette The station was along 9th Street between Esther and Adolph (near where the baseball fields are today). It is hard to tell from old maps as the street names seem to have changed or shifted.
Nicollet This station was on the east side of Pine Street, on the north side of the tracks. This station, along with the Courtland station were both moved to a farm to the NE of Nicollet and were subsequently torn down. The photos show the station being moved, but it's not known if this was the move to the farm or a previous relocation.
