STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Analomink (Spragueville)		This passeneger station was built in 1911 as was a companion freight house.
Bartonsville		There was a combination station built here in 1873.
BradyS Switch		There was a 10.5'x10.5' waiting shed here at milepost 133. This station served mostly workers employed by the Consumers Ice Company (and in warmer weather, hunters and fishermen). A 4400'-long spur extended from the main line to Brady's Lake, formerly known as Trout Lake. Currently, access to this lake in State Game Land #127 is via a dirt road from PA-940 to the southeast. Originally, though, access was via a now-non-existent dirt road from the northwest and access from the southeast was only via the railroad. A similar "waiting shed" was located where the original road to Brady's Lake crossed WB&E's main line at Drums. Property in that area was owned by R.C. & E.J. Drum. The ice workers & sportsmen going toward Stroudsburg waited at Brady's Switch. Those going toward Wilkes-Barre waited at Drums. Not surprisingly there's no trace today of either shed; and where the original road was is barely evident. DCNR, however, maintains much of the ROW on SGL as a road; and has rebuilt a bridge across Trout Creek emptying from Brady's Lake where WB&E's bridge was. --Kim Williams. On railroad valuation records, a 9' X 11' X 9' waiting shed is listed simply "MP 133" with no station name.
Coolbaugh		This station was on what is now the Foxmoor Drive exit from north end of shopping plaza at Keystone Drive. DVR track removed 1938. Freight only after 1927. On grounds of Davidson Summer School and Camp (1900-1929). Was probably a wood structure, possibly later incorporated into tourist lodging at Blue Ridge Inn.
CoolMoor		This passenger station was built in 1900. The station name is a combination of the names J. R. Coolbaugh & Dr. I. Henry Moore, two "darlings" of Wilkes-Barre area newspapers around 1900. The station, which was quite isolated, was built to cater to a 400-acre hunting and fishing club which Coolbaugh and Moore were among directors of, chartered in 1897. According to newspaper articles, the club had a 10-room lodge near Pocono Creek and, for awhile, there was a telegrapher at the 21'x36' depot, alternately - but rarely - referred to as the "City Road" station. The club was dissolved in late 1915 and the station was dismantled at that time. Two 25'x36'-long platforms remained at the site, used mainly for loading raw and/or finished lumber products, such as mine props and ties, next to a 386'-long stub.
Craigs Meadows		Station was on Craigs Meadow Road at the north end of the gate into St. Paul's cemetery. DVR track removed 1938. Freight only after 1927. Possibly just gravel platform. No station house shown there on 1939 aerial photo.
Cresco		There was a freight station here next to the passenger station. It was built in 1902.
Delaware Valley Inn Station		This station was on the southeast side of Hollow Road north of intersection with Holy Cross Road. This was the station for the Delaware Valley Inn (later “The Regina” Hotel). Freight only after 1927. DVR track removed 1938. Shown on timetables by 1913. For a time in the 1920s an old passenger coach was used for a station here. Only a concrete foundation about 60 feet long parallel to ROW remains. On private land.
Delaware Valley Junction Station		This station was located on Birch and Oak Streets at junction with DL&W main line. Approximate location is in back of Shine Time Car Wash at Milford Road and Birch Street. Station was required by ROW deed in 1901. Freight only after 1927. DVR track removed 1938. DL&W mainline has one functioning track left passing this location. No remnants of this station left today.
Delaware Water Gap		This was the original Delaware Water Gap station which burned after an explosion in 1902. It was in essentially the same location as the existing station.
Delaware Water Gap		Denoted as just "Water Gap" on timetables. This station was built in 1898.An improved boxcar body across from the passenger station served as a freight station here. The boxcar was placed there by the RR in 1903
Drums		According to ICC valuation records, there was a passenger shelter here. See the listing for Brady's Switch above for more information.
Eagle Valley		Station was on Route 447 (Paradise Trail) and Skyline Drive (the entrance to Eagle Valley Mall). Approximate location is parking lot of Weis Market. Freight only after 1927. DVR track removed 1938. Stop shown on 1903 timetable. Possibly just gravel platform.
East Stroudsburg		There was also a freight station here just south of the passenger station. The 1884 shows one large combination depot, but the 1897 map shows a smaller passenger station and a seperate freight station. That freight station would eventually just become a RR storage building.
East Stroudsburg		A brick freight station replaced the old wooden freight station. The brick freight station was at the south end of Crystal Street where it used to intersect with Brown Street at GPS: 40.993509, -75.181336.

Frutcheys (Kintners)		Station was on Frutcheys Drive south of Route 209 at bottom of hill from Route 209. Freight only after 1927. DVR track removed 1938. Probably on or near the land of stationmaster and DVR conductor John Kintner. Passenger and freight buildings probably of wood on concrete foundation. No remnants today. On private land.
Henryville		This combination station was built in 1883, however there was also a freight house nearby that was bult the same year (see below).
Henryville		Freight station.
Kunkletown		There is a building there now with a different roofline, but a similar profile as the station in the photo. Can someone confirm or deny if this station building still exists?
Lake Naomi (Pocono Pines)		There was a combination station here (pictured) that was built in 1893. In 1913 two modified boxcars were put here to expand the freight handling. Lake Naomi, or Naomi Pines, was later renamed Pocono Pines.
Maples		This station was at the west end of Railway Avenue Trail at Creek Road within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Named for “The Maples” guesthouse across Creek Road. Two minutes rail time to Bushkill. Shown on 1913 timetable. Possibly just gravel platform. No station house shows in 1939 aerial photo. No remnants today.
MorganS Falls (Tanite Station)		There was an "iron clad" freighthouse here that was built in 1908. This freight house was for the Tanite Company. The valuation map lists its dimensions as 12' X 16'. It was destroyed by fire on June 16, 1924 and never rebuilt. It was located at the northwest end of Tanite Road on a site that was used in the construction of Intersate 80.

This section of Oak Grove Drive was de-mapped around 2009 and now overgrown.
Pocono Lake		There is a building there that looks like it may have been a freight station, but it is not. Both the passenger and freight stations have been torn down, although the foundations of both can still be seen (as of 2008).

The oldest part of the station dates to 1864, but the station was remodeled and expanded from one story to 1.5 stories sometime between 1905-1912 (as the Sanborn maps of that time show the transition).
