Chester Hill
(Philipsburg)		 This combination station was on Presque Isle Street at Moshannon Creek (GPS: 40.895028, -78.225113). This was the NYC/Beech Creek Railroad's "Philipsburg" station. The Borough of Philipsburg is actually across the Moshannon Creek from this station. This was built originally as a combination type station, but served as a freight station in later years. The passanger and second floor station master's residence were razed after fire damage. All that remained was the freight shed portion of the building. The station was used for storage by JJ Powell Oil Company until it was razed sometime around 2011-2014. Does anyone know the fate of the station?
Chester Hill
(Steiner's)		 The Steiner's Station Tyrone & Clearfield depot is shown here on the 1878 map and also on the 1910 Sanborn map. It was located on the NW side of the tracks at the Phillipsburg Fire Brick Company. There are no streets in this area now, but the station was at approximately GPS: 40.888172, -78.226112. This is past the SE end of Laura Street in Chester Hill. However, the 1917 map puts the station past the SE end of Gertrude Street at 40.889206, -78.224975. That location is probably more accurate.
Chester Hill
(Weighton)		 This station was just a few yards to the north of the PRR station listed above. It was on the north side of the tracks at the end of Gertrude Street at GPS: 40.889413, -78.225048. This is shown on the 1917 Sanborn map as a Pittsburgh & Susquehanna (previously the Altoona & Philipsburg RR)station.
Chesterfield
(Ventland)		 Ventland was the name of the town/post office, but the station there was called "Chesterfield" by the railroad. This was on the 2.5-mile Banian Branch of the PRR.

Curry Run This station was on the east side of Zorger Road at approximately GPS: 40.908572, -78.664964.
Curwensville The original Tyrone & Clearfield RR station was a combination station at the same location as the existing passenger station at Meadow & Filbert Streets (GPS: 40.974058,-78.526478). This original station was replaced by the existing passenger station sometime between 1900-1905. At that time a separate freight station was built just to the west at GPS: 40.974159, -78.527230.
Curwensville When the new passenger station was built between 1900-1905 a separate freight station was built just to the west at GPS: 40.974159, -78.527230. There was also a baggage house between the passenger and freight stations that was connected to the passenger station. The freight station was bought in 1970 by Lezzer Lumber and torn down to make way for a warehouse (The Progress, 4-3-1972).
Curwensville This station was on the south side of East State Street on the NW side of the tracks at GPS: 40.974061, -78.522595.

Dimeling  
Dowler Junction This station was on the west side of U.S. 219 at approximately GPS: 40.829541, -78.790321.
Dubois The original wood frame BR&P station here was on the north side of Long Avenue on the west side of the tracks at GPS: 41.121924, -78.765700. Although the new brick station was built in 1894, the original station survived and stood vacant for a few years after as it is still shown on the 1896 map as being vacant. Is is not shown on the 1901 map.
Dubois A freight station was built on the north side of Long Avenue on the west side of the tracks in 1896 at GPS: 41.121422, -78.765895. This freight station was enlarged sometime between 1906-1913. It was torn down in the mid/late 1970s.
DuBois This station was on the east side of US-219 along what is now the Beaver Meadow Trail at GPS: 41.120096, -78.758675 on North Brady Street. This was a terminal-type station as the tracks from the station spur ended here. After the station went out of service, it was used as a grain and feed storage warehouse. The building burned down on January 1, 1952 according to the The Progress newspaper of 1/2/52. 
Dubois The original passenger station was on what is now Park Place at GPS: 41.126784, -78.754261. The first station was a two-story (although in the photo, it appears to be three stories) wood frame station which was replaced by the brick PRR station. This building was a store owned by John Dubois which later came to house the PRR station. It remained in service until sometime between 1906-1913.
Dubois This frieght station was next to the passenger station near the corner of Depot Avenue and North Brady Street (now US-219 and North Park Place) (GPS: 41.126948, -78.754884).
Dubois This passenger station was on what is now Park Place at GPS: 41.126826, -78.754492. It was built sometime between 1906-1913 to replace the original wood frame AVRR station/Dubois Store Building.
Dubois The PRR built a new siding and freight house on the NW side of South Brady Street (US-219)sometime between 1906-1913. This brick freight house with wooden shipping shed was along what is now West Park Avenue at 41.120050, -78.760271. In 1962 the front of the building was removed to make way for the widening of Liberty Boulevard (DuBois Courier-Express, 4-16-1976).
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.

(Coudley)		 This was on the West Branch Valley Branch. The depot was on Coudley Station Road at approximately GPS: 41.072417, -78.238255. On the 1942 map this location was known as Frenchville Station.
Gazzam  
Glendale  
Grampian A new station was built here in 1892.
Gray This was on the West Branch Valley Branch. Not to be confused with the Gray PRR station in Westmoreland County.
Heverly This shelter-type station was between Utahville and Coalport at approximately GPS: 40.743160, -78.505661. It likely served the coal mine that was there which closed in 1933.
Houtzdale On the 1894 map, the passenger station is shown at 726 Hannah Street (GPS: 40.825277, -78.352567) (now a deli?). A building still stands there with the same profile as that on the map. So, this building may have been the first A&P station, or this building may have been built there after the A&P station was torn down or moved. More research is needed on the date of the existing building.
Hoyt Station This station is showm in the vicinity of GPS: 40.915877, -78.619713 on the 1941 county map.

1895 CLEARFIELD COUNTY RAILROAD MAP
Notes About Existing Stations...

Brisbin (PRR) - Brisbin was on the Moshannon Branch of the PRR. Station is in its original location here. May be an original Phillipsburg & Moshannon station as it is shown as such on the 1894 map.

Burnside (Beech Creek Extension) - Owned by the Borough of Burnside. Attempts underway to get it added to National Register of Historic Places and obtain funding for restoration. The BCE RR included the Canoe Creek Railroad and Clearfield Southern Railroad and was a separate company from the Beech Creek Railroad although both were later part of the NYC.

Clearfield (PRR) - Tracks were in the street on Third Street. This has been a laundromat since the 1960s.

Houtzdale (Alley Popper) - This station was not shown on the 1894 map (but the RR is), so was likely built after that and was likely the second passenger station or moved there. The "Alley Popper" RR was built as a competitor to the PRR in the Moshannon Valley. It was in financial distress for its entire life and ceased operations in 1931 and was abandoned in 1936. The "Alley Popper" was its more popular name and is more recognized than its barrage of formal names over its troubled life. The railroad was known by various names over its lifetime or owned in full or part by: Altoona & Philipsburg Connecting RR, New York & Pittsburgh Airline RR, Philipsburg RR, Philipsburg & Susquehanna Valley RR, and Pittsburgh & Susquehanna RR. Leasing Railroads: Pittsburgh, Johnstown, Ebensburg & Eastern RR, New York & Pittsburgh Central RR and  Philipsburg & Johnstown RR.

Irvona (NYC) - The station was originally located at the east end of Julia Street at GPS: 40.773837, -78.549069. It was torn down in the 1960s and rebuilt for another use in Blain City on private property. The station now only vaguely resembles its original shape so it is a stretch to say this station still exists outside some of the materials.

Rockton (BR&P) - Station was originally built in 1898 for Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railroad at Rockton PA on the Clearfield Branch.  The depot was dismantled and first moved to Sloan Cornell's Penn View Mountain Railroad near Blairsville PA in the 1970's.  The depot was dismantled and moved a second time to Gettysburg PA on Sloan Cornell's Gettysburg Railroad in the late 70's.  An expansion of the nearby Gettysburg College later necessitated the station to be dismantled and placed in storage.  The station was moved a third time and recently reassembled in Kane PA on Cornell's Knox and Kane Railroad.  The reassembly was in progress when the tornado destroyed several piers of the Kinzua Bridge.  The station has been finished, but regular passenger and freight service has ceased on the K&K, and the railroad is for sale. - Kevin Moore, 2007.

Smoke Run (PRR) - Moved to present location late 1960's. The original location was on the north side of Crossroads Boulevard at approximately GPS: 40.795484, -78.430049.

Unknown (????) - This station was moved from ??? and is now being used as a cabin. Could this be the Lumber City Beech Creek (NYC) station? Here is an old photo of the Lumber City depot. It is not the NYC station that served Curry Run.

Winterburn (Allegheny Valley RR) - Used as a hunting cabin, a two-story addition was put on it in the 1930's. Original station was about 11' X 22' inside plus porches. The original cement steps are still out front.
