| Station Name |
Original Railroad |
Notes | ||||||
| Alverda |
 |
See listing below for Sides. | ||||||
| Arcadia |
 |
This station was located near the tipple for the Arcadia No. 41 Mine. It was approximately 300 feet north of the crossing of Number 11 Road on the east side of the railroad near GPS: 40.783354, -78.855577. | ||||||
| Aultman |
|
Located
at the end of the Aultman Branch, this station was located on the east side of
the railroad tracks and south of present-day PA286 (which was possibly
constructed after the station was demolished) (GPS 40.555254, -79.261426) |
||||||
| Barton |
|
This station may have also been known as Morrison Siding. It was between Oak Tree (Hamill) and Marion Center. | ||||||
| Black Lick |
|
Sanborn Maps show this station to have been a combined passenger and freight building. It was located in the northeast quadrant of the crossing of the railroad and Main Street on the west side of Black Lick. The PRR was relocated slightly east and to higher ground with the construction of the Conemaugh Dam and the station does not appear to have been reconstructed. The station site is located partially under fill for the current Campbells Mill Road (GPS: 40.471973, -79.199012). | ||||||
| Blairsville |
|
There was a freight station on East North Avenue at GPS: 40.432546, -79.262616. It is shown on the 1903 map, but on the 1909 map the platforms have been removed and the bulding is being used as a planing mill (H.W. Ferguson Planing Mill). The 1897 map shows there was a baseball field here with a grandstand, then the freight station building was there on the 1903 and 1909 maps. In 1915 a baseball field with grandstand is shown here again. The station likely was taken out of service with the coming of the low grade line nearby. | ||||||
| Bow |
|
Called "Tunnel Station" until 1885. Not to be confused with the CNJ's "Tunnel Station" in Luzerne County. This station was located on the east side of the original Western Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel through Bow Ridge and bridge over the Conemaugh River. It was on the northeast side of the original 1860s-era alignment of the WPRR near GPS: 40.460664, -79.359382. | ||||||

The Cambria & Indiana RR formerly the Blacklick & Yellow Creek RR was originally established in 1904 and changed ownership and names in 1909. It was mostly a coal-hauling RR, but did offer passenger service via mixed trains. Passenger operations ceased aorun 1932. | ||||||
| Chambersville |
|
Mine

crossing of the BR&P and Chambersville Hill Road on the north side of the
railroad (GPS 40.705102, -79.159292) |
||||||
| Cherry Tree |

Photo taken circa 1930. Second station to exist on site, replaced original one which burned down. It was on the east side of Front Street on the west side of the tracks at GPS: 40.726954, -78.806097. Note the PRR style station sign, without the Keystone (possibly a hint to the joint NYC/PRR CT&D operations). New York Central passenger operations ceased circa 1930s. Pennsylvania/Cherry Tree & Dixonville passenger operations ceased 1947. | ||||||

| Notes About Existing
Stations... Blairsville (PRR) - This was the first station in the town of Blairsville. It was at the end of a stub track, the bed of which was subsequently turned into what is now part of Johnson Avenue and Old Main Street (formerly Green Street on old maps). In the years after the station was built the center of town was built up to the east and this track was removed, the station was out of service, and a new station was built. I was previously told that, "Due to the Johnstown Flood of 1889, the railroad right-of-way and station site was relocated to higher ground. This put the main line the greater part of a mile east, and so a new station was constructed." However, that story doesn't jive with old maps as the current track alignment and station location are shown on the 1871 map. You can't tell which station is at the site in 1871, but the 205 East Market Street site is certainly the same. Saltsburg (Northern Pennsylvania RR) - This station was built by local stone masons John Martin and S.S. Jamison in 1864. The Northwestern PA RR was acquired by the Western Pennsylvania RR in 1860s and then by the PRR in 1880. When the PRR acquired the the line, it moved the right of way and built a new station in 1884 on Washington Street (that station is no longer standing). The station served as town hall from 1886-1927, a bowling alley from 1950-1978, and currently houses borough offices and the police department. The smaller front part of the building was added in 1950. A fire destroyed part of the building in 1978 and the appearance was altered. Shelocta (BR&P) - As of 2022, the building was beginning to sag due to undermining by groundhogs. |
