Clarksville Station
Like many Dominion Atlantic stations, Clarksville has been moved, cut apart and converted to a private residence and summer cottage. All that remained at Clarksville was a station sign board acting as a flag stop.
Station 189x to Present
The station was built by the Midland Railway sometime between 1896 and 1905 when the DAR took over. The station was located on the south side of the tracks. It had two parts: passenger service on the east end and freight on the west end. The station was adjustment to the property of house in Clarksville which occupied the north side of the tracks. When the station was closed, it was sold and cut into two. The freight end was moved up the road eastwards onto the hill where it currently lives, converted to a cottage, with the hardwood floors from the passenger waiting room. The other half is reported to still be around, but it is not clear where its current home is located, possibly just west of it's original location.
