Charles Leonard writes: "My parents bought the station and I lived in it for a number of years! I can recall that during the war years a flatbed coal car jumped the tracks and it was leaning against the porch of the house and my mother and I used garden rakes to scrape the coal off the top of the car so that we would have fuel for the kitchen stove. My parents eventually tore the station down and built a new house out of the salvaged lumber and other materials. I can remember hauling boards and the like in my wagon and then removing and straighting the old nails so that we could reuse them."
