Notes About Existing Stations... Belview (M&St.L) - Restored and opened as a museum in 1976. On NRHP in 1980. Lamberton (C&NW) - It appears that the freight section of this station has been cut off. The other half of the station may be at a different location or was demolished. Walnut Grove (C&NW) - The station is divided in half. The passenger section is part of barn at the NE end of the farmstead while the freight section is part of a barn at south end of farmstead flanking CR 42. Not really recognizable except by the roof lines and interior construction. |
