It is believed that the station might have been about 50' in length and about 25' in width and at one time did have a station agent named Mr. John Henry Parker. Not sure of his retirement though do know he worked for the railway in the 1940's.

He believes the station might have been about 50' long and about 25' wide and the station being painted yellow with a brown trim. Plus he recalled seeing a siding there that would hold maybe 3-4 boxcars. The station it self he believes was torn down back in the late 70's early 80's as it was gone when my family moved to Scotch Village which was either in 1983 or 1984. In an email from Bill Linley he mentions that the station was gone by the spring of 1975.

Scotch Village Station

This is where I (Samuel) believe the station used to be Google Map; as when I was a child I grew up in Scotch Village and I remember my dad telling me that's where the station was.

It is believed that the station might have been about 50' in length and about 25' in width and at one time did have a station agent named Mr. John Henry Parker. Not sure of his retirement though do know he worked for the railway in the 1940's. According to 1969 Memorandum of General Information there is no local listed agent and it refers Brooklyn for the agent who at that time was J. R. Clark. By 1969 there was no local freight traffic being delivered to picked up from Scotch Village any more.
